Pressed Pennies
Pressed Pennies or Elongated Coin Machines are available throughout the Walt Disney World Resort and Parks.
A pressed coin is created when it is squeezed, flattened, and engraved through two rollers.
Most of the machines are electronic, but there are hand-crank machines too.
Located in all parks and resort areas, including hotels, Disney Springs, and the Boardwalk, it’s easy to collect pressed pennies, dimes, or quarters.
Pressed Pennies as Souvenirs
During our first Walt Disney World trip, I made my son a pressed penny checklist booklet.
Using colored copy paper and the checklists from PressedCoins.com (the experts on WDW pressed pennies), our booklet was an inexpensive souvenir of our trip.
We would pull out the booklet during long waits or at the end of the day and check off every place he had pressed a penny that day.
Our Pressed Penny “gear”:
- Clean pennies & quarters
- Mini M&M container to keep the loose coins
- Pressed Penny coin collector book to store our pressed pennies
- DIY Pressed Penny checklist booklet/guide
Similar to Pin Trading, you may prefer to only collect pressed coins from a particular park, your favorite rides, or your favorite characters.
Pressed Penny Booklet
Visit Pressedcoins.com for the latest penny machine checklists. Print them on 8.5 x 11 paper, fold in half, add a colorful cover, and presto-change’o, you’ll have a fun pressed penny collectors guide for your trip!
