Pressed Pennies...2 questions

[kitkat4622]

Is there a map where you can make pressed pennies in each park and what does it cost to do this of course besides the penny ..LOL

 

[Alesia]

Not a map, but a list: http://www.presscoins.com/listings/

They're 50 cents, plus the penny.

And there is one Pressed Penny that is FREE!

It is the Agent P Pressed Penny that is part of one of the France missions in Agent P World Showcase Adventure.

The CMs provide the Penny and the machine turns on automatically without any quarters being added.

There is a presspenny machine in the Disney store at the Orlando airport

I found this website very cool. Will tell you where the machines are located and what pennies you can make at each one:

Hi,

Does anyone know off hand where Grumpy is located? I only saw Doc at one of the 4 parks/ Disney Springs so I assume he is at a resort.

Thanks, Tammy

We pick themes. First trip we got one from each park and each sub-park (Adventureland, Future World, etc.). Another trip we got one from each country in the World Showcase. I also like to get ones from the hotels we have visited. Of course favorite rides are good. We have gotten some of the character ones, but only for very special/favorite characters. That's the one that can really send you over the edge, because there are so many. We also do not get all designs from the machine; DS and I pick one for each of us. Here's the link that I use. You will need to scroll down to Orlando. We also have purchased the Disney penny press book. I like the books. The Disney one holds a lot and can be purchased at most shops, including the hotels.

Have they all gone electric? Or do they still have the crank ones?

They have both. We did a Duffy one with a crank machine yesterday.

Not positive how complete and accurate the online ones are, presumably pretty good. However, you used to also be able to get a list at city hall in MK. They had a list for each park plus one for resorts/downtown.

We weren't too scientific about which ones to get - looked for them whenever someone was waiting on part of the family to a ride one was too short/scared for; would check for nearby locations whenever we were sitting for lunch or a snack break; usually got one from a favorite ride, resort we stayed in, resorts we visited. If I recall, seemed like a lot of resorts had pressed quarters instead of pennies, so that requires 4 quarters fee plus one quarter to press.

It looks like Grumpy is at Port Orleans.

Most of the machines are now button operated, we were sad to find only three in the last 7 days with cranks! I need these kids to work on their muscles!

My DD loved doing this, we saved alot of quarters & pennies for her to do this.

This makes me so sad! This was my 3 year old's favorite part of our last trip. The button machines are not fun at all

Well, at least they haven't all gone to the pre-pressed ones. I have yet to see these machines and hope I never do.

We kept our pressed pennies in an empty Mentos container...kept quarters in an empty large M & M container...kept pennies in an empty small M & M container.
