pressed pennies/pins

[riess424]

Has anybody found any cool pressed pennies or pins? If so where did you find them?

We do the pin trading......I got some nice ones off of Ebay & they weren't that expensive. I didn't know that different pins are sent to different regions of the country.

I saw a really cool machine at the princess shop in MGM. I saw it and went "OMG! They have Ariel! I need to press a penny." Checking my pockets, I had no pennies... so I ran off to buy some ice cream and then used the change to get me a pressed Ariel coin. Hehehe.

When you enter any of the parks, ask guest relations for a list of all penny press machines. They will list where each penny or quarter press for that park can be found. We found this out the last day of our stay last time. I'll be more prepared in April.

We like to collect the pennies, and the 75th anniversary quarters are nice too.

Of course, the resorts have great ones too. I found some of the best ones at Ft. Wilderness.

Ya beat me to it. Actually, some of the merchandise shops have them as well. We had a copy or two in Adventureland (last I saw it was in Zanzibar). I think a lot of it was outdated, though, not sure if guest relations' copy is more up to date.

I bought some really cool Nightmare Before Christmas pins at the MGM Villain Shop (they have the best supply of NBC stuff!)
I have a pressed pennie book, my favorite is an Epcot one with SE on it that I got at Mouse Gear

I also have a pressed penny book- I got a lot on my last trip. I like this one that I got in France that is kind of like a stamp with Mickey on it and the Spaceship Earth one that Steamboat_Kevin was talking about.

A cool pin that I have is one that I built. I got a base that has fireworks on it and got 3 add ons (Tinkerbell, the 2003 logo, and Mickey Mouse). I also had my name engraved in it.

This is my favorite pin. I got it from a cast member who was working at World of Disney at DTD.
(My cousin, Joey, really liked this one, so at the WDW Store at the airport, we saw a CM with the same pin, and I asked her to trade, which she happily did, and then told us its a CM Lanyard pin!!!)
