I've not seen them in Canada. Disney ones are $6.50US at the resorts. S

Heck,

I couldn't even find any while I was at Disney at Christmas! The only ones I could find were the princess ones. My son didn't like those so much.

We found one in the fall at the resort store while waiting for Ohana's BF. They listed as $3.50 so they were half price. They had sorcerer Mickey on them Everywhere else i saw them for around $6.50 Glad i picked one up

Yes, I saw those ones too last fall.....while there in February they were all gone. I got my nephew one at the Rainforest Cafe since he liked that one the best but it is full and he needs another one! I wonder if they sell them at the Rainforest Cafe in Mississauga or Niagara Falls? Anyone have any idea? They are my last resort!

If you go to a tourist town you are sure to find them somewhere. I would think that you could get them in Niagara Falls. I would also think they sell them in the downtown TO area someplace. Perhaps at a gift shop in Rogers Center? Also try the RFC at Yorkdale. Usually places that sell pressed pennies will have the books too.

Also try other places like:
Hockey Hall of Fame
Casa Loma
CN Tower

Well, I finally made the trip up Toronto way to the Yorkdale Shopping Center and the Rainforest Cafe there did indeed have the pressed penny books for $5.99, oddly enough, the exact same price I paid only in US at the RF in Disney, so my nephew is going to be thrilled.

An interesting side note: There was a pressed penny machine there and it had a note on it that said it only took "US pennies". I thought that was odd since the pressed pennies in Disney took our pennies no problem, so I asked the guy working there and he said "Its against the law to deface the Queen!" and he pulled a small bucket out and handed me a nice new shiny US penny! I hadn't really thought about that before, but thought it was interesting that the US doesn't seem to have a problem 'defacing' Lincoln! Anyways, he also said that is why you will not find many pressed penny machines in Canada for that reason..... I did look up a site that was quoted on the back of my RF book and it has a list of every pressed penny machine in the world! Check it out here: http://www.pennycollector.com/AreaList.aspx

I checked out the 'books' for sale on that site, they had some interesting ones, but nothing that interested me. That's o.k., my nephew really wanted a Rainforest Cafe one and fortunately, I had access to one over here, finally!
