February 21, 2013 9:00 PM

Hey everyone! Going to DL tomorrow for the weekend and I want to start working on my collection of Disney smooshed pennies. I am sure I will see many of the machines throughout the day, but wanted to see if any of you knew of any good ones for me to hunt down! I know they can sometimes be tucked away. Thanks for the tips :)

I believe city hall has a list - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1799.3 #42 9:04PM

Or most of the stores have them too - BaseballMickey_CM 2859.4 #16 9:07PM

Aww how nice. May have to stop there first thing! Thanks! - lohofosho 287.1 #686 9:23PM

I got one at guest services at dca last week as well. - bluefairy 627.2 #174 10:12PM

There is a website devoted to Disney coin machines, I found it off google a few months ago! - GarnerPhotography 321.4 #517 9:17PM

I discovered the Red Trolley in DCA squishes a penny pretty good...if you can keep pedestrians from kicking it before the trolley drives over it - SteveGough 30.6 #4343 9:21PM

We just started that the last trip we went on. I went and got a BRAND NEW roll of shiny pennies at the bank so that they're all squashed and pretty 😜 - simba77 238.5 #1129 10:01PM

Apparently, the best pennies for this are pre-1982. Newer pennies have a different metal inside that shows through when pressed, I've noticed. You can clean the old ones with various concoctions, like ketchup. Just squeeze some on, let sit for a few minutes, then scrub with an old toothbrush. - bluefairy 627.2 #174 10:15PM

Wow thankyou for the tip! I will definitely make sure the ones I bring are old! - lohofosho 287.1 #686 10:16PM

I just recently started collecting the smashed pennies, too. It is so fun hunting for them. Hope you find lots. - PrincessLeia 263.4 #886 10:12PM

My favorites are at the exit of great moments with Mr Lincoln. They have Walts signature and old Disneyland sign ones. - girlzstylin 227.0 #1284 9:06PM

Thanks for the tip. I will have to stop at that one! :) - lohofosho 287.1 #686 9:21PM

I think there is a list right here on MW...let me look again... - BelieveInMagic 85.6 #3201 9:07PM

"Resources" on bottom bar, scroll to "Disneyland Coin Press Check List" - BelieveInMagic 85.6 #3201 9:11PM

Thankyou so much! That is so helpful. Silly me for never investigating the resources. Is there a way to access the resources from a computer. I can't seem to find it and would love to be able to print it out. Thanks :) - lohofosho 287.1 #686 9:21PM

I don't see a way to find this from a computer...sorry. But I rarely access MW from the website, I'm always on the app. - BelieveInMagic 85.6 #3201 9:39PM

Thanks for looking. I googled around and was able to find the same copy online :) - lohofosho 287.1 #686 10:10PM

We have quite a collection as well. I always like to hunt down the ones in the hotels. It gives me a reason to explore. - LittleAprilShowers 471.6 #256 9:16PM

http://www.parkpennies.com/. Has a current checklist for all the penny's in the park. There is directions to save it on your home page for IPhone and you can check them off as you get them. - julietyler76 4.1 #12965 9:53PM

Thankyou! - lohofosho 287.1 #686 10:11PM

This may sound like dumb question but I haven't gotten one in a while... they generally cost 50 cents a piece right? ...and the penny obviously. - lohofosho 287.1 #686 10:12PM

Yes, but they also have quarters that cost $1 + the quarter and I think maybe nickels? - bluefairy 627.2 #174 10:31PM

Yes, generally. There are a few nickel machines around, too. I believe they cost a bit more. - JustCantWait 794.3 #118 10:34PM

Thanks for the info! - lohofosho 287.1 #686 11:32PM

There is a coin machine hidden in a store in nos that I never knew was there. Not sure of the name, but my son loved to go there to get his swords and PotC stuff. I love getting the coins and have two of the coin books filled! Good luck and have fun! - kueenofhearts 209.3 #1503 11:39PM
