Pressed pennies

[Tina G]

I've been reading about the pressed penny machines at Disney and it sounds like it can be something cute to collect while we're there. I noticed people talking about using M&M tubes and some cute labels on the creative design forum. So some questions.................

1. Do you use the tube to hold the quarters and pennies to put in the machines? And then what do you keep the pressed pennies in since they are an elongated shape, right?

2. Where are the machines located? I know there are some in the resorts but are they also in the parks, etc?

Thanks for any info!

You'll find pressedpenny machines all over the World! Each Disney hotel has some. Many restaurants, giftshops, etc. I've been collecting them for about 12 years now. Lots of fun, although they do add up cost-wise if you're trying to fill a collection book!
