Penny Machines

[Clifton Tesh]

I love cheap souvenirs and I love defacing federal currency. Well, not really, but I really do love crushing pennies and imprinting pictures on them.

I've seen one picture of the penny crushing machines at Disney. It's the one at AoA with Simba, Ariel, and Mater.

Does any one have a list and/or pictures of the rest of the machines in the parks and resorts?

I would love to try and hit them all up during my stay in April.

Awesome! Thank you

That's a lot more than I expected. This could take more than one trip.

It will definitely take more than one trip!
(Avid Defacer of federal currency)
It can get very addicting! I start collecting pennies and quarters the second my trip ends, it gives me something to look forward to until the next!

I've already started filling a crown royal bag with quarters and pennies

I've been working on my penny collection since my first trip in 2010. It's great. I have I think 7 books (just bought 2 my trip last month). They aren't all full, but I have at least one book for each park and one misc for resorts and DS/DTD.

Some machine have pennies with the year so I have a few of those from2014 and 2015.

Some pennies have changed from the last time I printed maps (like, there are Frozen ones that weren't on my 2013 maps when I went in 2014 and2015). Can't remember the site, but it was a map of the park with the penny machines pointed out with arrows for where located and pennies available.

They sell them at disney in pretty much all the gift shops. Pressed coin collection or something. They are maybe 3 inches by 7 inches. Folds out maybe 12 inches wide.

they are usually close to the register, along with autograph books.

This is the one they're selling for the 60th Anniversary. As mentioned, it's available at most shops, especially those with pressed coin machines.

Additionally, Disneyland released a pressed coin machine guide for the 60th Anniversary. It lists the locations and designs throughout the resorts. It's available (usually) at Guest Services and at random location throughout the parks. I got mine at Guest Services in DCA. You can also download a copy:

Looks like I'm not the only person who enjoys defacing federal currency!

Thanks for the picture

I love defacing currency too! It's even better when you launder it first lol. (I cleaned up my pennies for my next trip with lemon juice yesterday). Anyways, here's pictures of my oh-so-close to full book:

This is from 2011 I think? Whatever year was using that slogan.

Fits 54 pennies and 9 quarters. I don't know if mine was irregular, but one of the line of pockets on the folds was a tiny bit smaller than the rest, so squeezing the pennies into those slots was extra difficult and there is no possible way I could ever get them out without cutting the plastic off.

Are there any photos of the 2017 books? And is the location guide accurate for this year?

I may or may not have spent a weekend last month polishing several dozen pre-1982 pennies for my planned visit later this year.

This is the book that was available in mid-December at Disneyland Resort. Disney World also got a new book, with a similar design idea, but featuring WDW locations.

And is the location guide accurate for this year?

Yes and no...the locations in the guide are still (for the most part) correct, but the descriptions of the designs are incorrect. They've removed the 60th machines, so now it's the regular/old designs. Some of the machines recommend visiting "ctmgroupinc.com/disney" but I think that only has a listing of the WDW machines (I couldn't find DLR listings), but they also maintain pennycollector.com, so the info is on that site.

Thanks! That was the one I saw for sale online and I like it quite a bit. We are going to WDW and it looks like there is a version of it for there. So the list of the WDW machines will be what we need.

We are also a family of avid pressed coin collectors. We have a few from our first trips to Disneyland and Disney World. We're headed to both parks again this summer, and I cannot WAIT to press more coins to remember our trip.

The pressed coin books are so cute, but I gave up on them a few years ago. I'd get new pennies and want to rearrange the order of them in the books, but the fit was either too tight it was difficult to get the pennies out of the pockets, or they were too loose and would fall out.

I now keep my pressed pennies in clear jars.
