Pressed Penny Thoughts

[Frantasmic]

Where is the most unique pressed penny machine in the parks?

It all matters on what you like. I liked the Animal Kingdom type pennies and found some good ones in Tusker House. I also liked the Indiana Jones style in the BAcklot Commissary next door.

I'm not quite sure what you mean...we saw basically two types of machines, those that press the penny automatically (most are this kind), and those that you have to actually turn the crank.

Most have at least three designs, but some only have one. Some stores have two or even three pressed penny machines, some only have one.

And almost ALL of them are stuck in a corner somewhere!

We collected about 45 pennies on our recent visit...and we had a blast just wandering around looking for the machines.

Or are you asking about the designs on the pennies? I think our favorites were the ones near the exit of POTC or the ones at World of Disney.

There are lots of cool designs, it's just a matter of preference.

Also, I'm sure someone could post a list of all the machines in the parks. We had a basic list (not entirely up to date) and we still had fun!

Pressed pennies are soo cool...and I still think they're the most cost effective souvenirs ever!!

I got a copy from the "home.earthlink.net/~presscoins. there is also the Unofficial Walt DisneyWorld pressed coin guide website. Be warned though it has 17 pages!! It covers the whole of Disney. Hope this helps!
