Pressed Pennies Machines

Does anyone know how many different designs are available in the park? Is there just a couple or a lot.

You can check out this map. It's not complete, but it has a pretty good listing: https://www.disneynow.com/profile/web/index.cfm?PKwebID=0x5910a44b

There are around 70 different coin press designs at DL park, and probably about 20 at DCA. DCA has added several Frozen coin stations that actually use dimes. You can spend a good chunk of change chasing around these coins.

That's a great map, GatorChris! My son will have fun with this in June. I read a great tip on here last year to use those the empty mini M&M tubes to pre-stack quarters and pennies so you have them all ready to go when you are in the parks. This is serious business! I'm looking forward to seeing the 60th anniversary ones

This is another list that we used last time. Looks like it's pretty updated, too

We did this at our last visit.... Unfortunately, there's also pressed dime machines and pressed quarter machines, so our pretty stacked tubes quickly became messed up! My trick is actually to have *2* tubes. One with just quarters, and one with mainly pennies, a few nickels, and a few dimes.

DD would love to get some pressed pennies. My problem is, what to do with them all after?

They have pressed penny books that you can put them in. We forgot to pick one up last time so ours are just in a little box for the time being.

We got the pressed penny book too (it's basically a hard-bound small folder, kind of, triple-folded). It's about $8.95+tax, I believe. Really, I love them much more than my daughter does, but I say they are for her And, she does love seeing what new ones I added to the book each time I return from a trip, and we talk about why I picked each one! She was THRILLED at the Frozen ones (pressed quarters, I think they all were), all the more when I told her they were from Wanderin' Oaken's. I think we're about 1/2 way through filling the book. There's no "specific" places to put them (not assigned places per se), but just like 2-3 pages of smaller pockets for pennies and dimes, and 1 page of bigger pockets for nickels and quarters.

I know you can also buy generic pressed penny books on amazon or such.

There are albums?!?!?! Oh boy ....

I like the idea of turning them into jewelry.

You could hot glue them into your Scrapbook.

Disney has new pressed pennies coming out for the 60th Anniversary! Here is a link to the Disney Parks blog that shows a sneak peak, cant wait!

I simply like to keep them in the books you can buy for the pennies, then look back at them later. Disney used to change them more often, so I'm glad they will be added different ones this year.

Have fun!

I saw a great idea on pintrest. You can mount them in a frame in the "Mickey" shape and hang it up! I am totally going to do this after our first trip to DL on Monday then I can do 2. One for WDW and one for DL. I saw they had a lot of 60th anniversary pennies too so that will be something special to mount !
