Pressed penny questions...

[ShortyNBug]

What are you using to hold your pennies before and after pressing? It seems a minin M&M tube would be perfect for before but what do you use after they've been pressed? Also, does anyone have a design for Pressed Pennies? I have a Pressed Penny Money label but I need some for after they've been pressed. (Unless I just throw them in a baggie or something. Thanks!

We used 2 tubes. 1 for the stacked quarters and pre pressed pennies the other for the pressed ones they just kinda fell in and stacked themselves.
Once that one was filled, my son would put them in a baggie in his carryon bag of goodies.
I think donatalie has a scrapbook clip art of a pressed penny macine with mickey if you want to make an envelope or something to hold the pressed ones. Maybe one of those padded 5x7 mailers would work out nicely.
They also sell penny holder in all the gift shops, but we're too cheap for that!

I hear ya. That's why I was thinking M&M containers. LOL! My girls love those mini M&Ms so it won't be hard to come by! And and envelope would probably be great. Thanks!

I'm using a Mentos Gum container for pennies that have been pressed. It's similiar to the mini M&M containers but it's an oval shape....and the gum is super yummy!

That's a great idea! Thanks.

I used the pressed penny book they sell them in the gift shops at the parks and resorts

Where on the board can we find the designs for our tubes?
Thanks!
