My DD is very excited about doing pressed pennies. Does anyone know where to find these machines? Is there a listing somewhere of where they can be found throughout the parks? Any tips about new vs. old pennies, US vs. Canadian pennies? Looking forward to your posts!

I just posted about this on the Attractions board & they directed me to www.pressedcoins.com - it is great!!

This is the website I used. It has a very good list with detailed descriptions.

There are machines throughout the parks and resorts. I have read the old pennies are better but we preferred newer shiny ones or just used whatever we had.

A great tip I read on the boards was to take quarters and pennies along layered two quarters then one penny in a mini m&m tube. This really helped expedite the process since we weren't hunting for change every time we found a machine. We did not take enough money, however. We bought our daughter a WDW pressed penny book to fill and it holds 64 pennies (I think).

Have fun! Our DD loved collecting them!

My dd loves to put her coins in a special disney plush pocket book so she can look at her "Mickey Money"!
