There is an actual pressed penny book you can buy that has small slots for the pennies- probably the easiest way to keep them. Or, you could use a ziploc bag and wrap the pennies in a tissue so they don't scratch each other. (Stack, wrap the stack, and seal in the bag)

I have not found any at the disney store in person or online
I found a pressed penny "passport" book that I liked on Amazon, and I'll check out the website you listed as well.Thanks all!

Getting one at the parks is the best bet. Although we did happen to buy ours at the Disney Character Warehouse outlet store at the Orlando Premium Outlets mall. Our two kids were heavily into the pressed pennies/coins for a while. We still like taking them out and looking at them from time to time.
*Sidenote* - You would be surprised how many lost pressed pennies books we have come across over our years of visiting. From buses to bathrooms to benches to tables at food courts or restaurants. Most of them were quite full too. Of course, we always bring it to the attention of a cast member or take it to guest services ourselves. Do yourself a favor and put your contact info somewhere in them for quicker recovery should you ever misplace them.

I also found this. They have several different styles to choose from.

A friend of mine just came back and told me about cards that you can get at the firestation on Main Street- Sorcers of the Magic Kingdom. I had no idea they existed, and now it's on our list for next time. I love learning about a new experience!

Kids did that too. Along with pin trading. And Sorcerer players sometimes have extra cards that they are willing to trade for, just like pins.

So according to the link, Disneyland has 549 different pressed pennies. But no data from Disney World though.
So I went searching and found that Disney World has 415 pressed pennies.

Wow! I think we collected around 20, and then another 10 in Key West the next week. I have no desire to collect 415!

Oops...I missed the 158 more pressed pennies available at the different resorts. (I was only counting those available at the parks and DTD (I will always call it DTD no matter the re-branding.))
For a total of 573 pressed pennies
This does NOT include the pressed Quarter Machines!

Holy cow! I had no idea! We stayed at Poly and I think got 1 or 2 there, and then at various places around the parks- some in gift shops, some near attractions. But we didn't go in even close to 1/10th of the shops, so maybe that's where a lot are located.

I've collected around 100 pressed pennies from around the world. My WDW pennies make up about a third of those. Some organization ideas include buying mini m&ms (the ones that come in those plastic canisters), empty out the canister (I would suggest doing this by eating the m&ms), and decorate to your liking. You can then stack the coins needed for each pressed penny in the order you will need them (i.e. quarter, quarter, penny, quarter, quarter, penny...and so on). I used to stop at penny machines as I found them but now I track which ones I already have by finding their locations. My favorite website is http://www.presscoins.com/.
As for organization after you already have the pennies, I like the books found in the parks. They're relatively cheap and make a great souvenir! I've also seen people make bracelets/necklaces. One of the coolest ways I've seen the pennies organized/displayed is in the picture below! Hope this helps!

Thank you for your response! The M&M canister is a great idea!!! And a time saver! I definitely wouldn't have thought of that.I've collected around 100 pressed pennies from around the world.
