mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 That is cool!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Very cool! My Gwen collects those. Although I'm not sure I want it to be any easier to find the machines. For every $0.51 you put in your get back a flat penny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nutters4wdw......Amy 5 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sweet!! We love doing those. I found a list of the locations on some website before our 2011 trip but it was super long and not worth dragging around the parks with us. The map rocks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'll give a prize to the first Fiend to send me legible pics of the maps from all 4 parks. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For every $0.51 you put in your get back a flat penny. For real. If Adam ever got his hands on that I would be screwed. I do have to admit I get excited when I get change and there are shiny pennies in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Airborne tubes work great for quarters.I should have a giant pile of them around here after trying to ward off the plague all winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I just added pages for ALL the coin press maps (4 theme parks, Downtown Disney and resorts) plus the accompanying lists to the Info Pages. You can find the links to them on the Site Map page.Scroll down to the "MISCELLANEOUS" section near the bottom and you'll see the listing with links.http://www.fortfiends.net/_/info/site-map-find-what-you-need-here-r99 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 My grandchildren and one of my nieces like to collect the pressed pennies. I save all the shiny pennies during the year as well as quarters for them. It is fun watching them get all excited when they see one they don't have. Thanks so much for the maps.

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have a good plan.....i will give you .51 per SOTMK card that my kids need and you can finish your flat penny collection. Deal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 This is great, but it does have me a bit confused.Should I be saving my quarters for the Pressed Coin Machines or for the Barrels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickManiac 0 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wow, just stumbled across this post. Thanks for putting this up, my wife and I have been collecting these for awhile now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hmmmm maybe I will let Z collect these. They are small and cheap, and I have a change jug. Shiny pennies are important, huh? I haven't made one of these in years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Shiny pennies make better ones. The good thing is when your kid is little getting 15 pennies is better than one toy. Adam thinks he is making out in the deal of lots of pennies vs one thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DramaMama .......... Janet 75 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 My hubby prefers using pre-1994 pennies in the machines. The newer machines do make clearer Disney images with newer pennies, but using the older ones gives you a shadow of the original penny image - which we think is cool. It really is up to you. Thanks for posting the maps! These are so much better than the typed lists we used to get. We enjoy the scavenger hunt part of penny pressing, but it really doesn't make for "cheap" momentos when you are on a mission to do every one like my DH gets sometimes!
