Pressed Pennies

[wmom88]

We are going to WDW 18 days- Does WDW have pressed penny machines? Does anyone know locations?

Thanks!

My husband and son have taken on this hobby. This path leads to madness, so be forewarned.

Yes, there are pressed penny machines EVERYWHERE, plus some pressed Quarter machines (we draw the line there though - pennies only!). They also sell those little folders to put them in. My ds has one and it's full.

Thanks everyone! I did not realize they were sooo many! I showed list to ds age 10 and he is thrilled!

You might want to save some quarters and pennies and pack them away before you go to save going crazy to try and get change. Grammy

Ds really got into this one year and we all enjoyed it. You have to slow down to look for the machines. We took rolls of quarters and pennies. They ,as someone said, have books and they are nice too.

Hi,
My kids just LOVE their squished penny collections! And so do I. They are a such cheap and easy souvenirs! Not to mention that they don't take up much space.
We made tubes or holders for the change needed to make them. Here is a link to what we did.

My girls LOVED the pressed pennies! This was our first WDW vacation, but thanks to the Dis I knew about the pennies... we were prepared! What an inexpensive thing! My girls loved doing it and brought back some for special friends! They could bring something back for their best friends w/o spending a lot of money. DD8 found the Tink one and made a penny for her friend...

Doing the pressed pennies at WDW was one of my DD's favorite things! She loved it so much and she's only 2 1/2! She'll even do a pretend pressed penny machine for you if you ask -- you will have to provide her with her pretend pressed penny of course...

The best trick I learned here was to use the mini M&M's tube and stack 2 quarters and one penny. It worked out great and was much better than having to find pennies and quarters in the bottom of a bag somewhere. Oh, and if you ever need more change (we did) just ask a CM to break a bill for you -- they are more than happy to do it.
