Quarters & Pennies: Pressed Penny Machine (Cdn forum)

** Hi ... just posted this "same" thread on the "Disneyland" forum BUT thought I'd post it here also on the "Canadian Planning" forum. Therefore, if you've already seen this thread on the other forum, please excuse the duplication. Thanks!! **


Hi Everyone! The following questions relate to Pressed Penny Machines:

1) Is it still true that you can get a "map" of the pressed machines located in Disneyland & DCA at City Hall in Disneyland?

2) I'm Canadian and do NOT have an account in any american bank. However, if I'm able to get to an american bank once I arrive, am I able to buy rolls of quarters and rolls of pennies from the bank even though I do not have an american bank account?

3) How much does 1 roll of Quarters cost AND how much does 1 roll of Pennies cost?

4) Are the Quarters & Pennies "brand" new in the rolls OR are they a mix of old and new OR even just old coins? Obviously I would like "brand" new "shiny" pennies for the Penny Press Machines.

5) Do American coins work better in the Penny Presses (ie. do American pennies press differently from Canadian pennies?

I've read past posts which say that American and Canadian pennies press differently but don't know if anyone has had RECENT experience with using "both" American and Canadian pennies.

Also, what's the DIFFERENCE in the OUTCOME of the pressed coin when using American vs Canadian pennies!! We stopped circulating pennies in Canada and I have lots of them (ie. able to choose shiny ones) that I could use if they worked the "same" in the machines.

Thanks a lot for your help!
