Re: Pressed Pennies
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:52 pmI save them because I find them in the bags of coins that I go through. Just nice to see the different places that they come from.

Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:39 pmI find them in my bags also. I keep wondering how they make it through the counter without jamming it up.

Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 5:17 pmI just started collecting them a couple of months back. Actually, I picked up 4 pressed pennies today while visiting The Chattanooga Choo-Choo!

Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:40 pmI have three. My favorite was found in the gravel of a campsite on the Natchez Trace Parkway on a motorcycle tour on my '80 'Zuki 550. It's an elongated, pressed, penny from the Memphis Zoo. Unfortunately it's pressed on a Zincer.

once you start saving them, you see them everywhere.
they are a remarkable inexpensive souvenir at only 51 cents.

Try to grab these whenever I stumble across a machine. Found the passport keeper for them at a truck stop there is a website if anyone is interested.
Just a cheap hobby as others said 51 cents and it doesn't need dusted
