Description:
I love pressed pennies - those things you get at attractions where they smoosh the penny and put a picture on it! I luv 'em! Anyways - two partners with one penny to each partner along with a brief letter telling about where the penny came from. Newbies most certainly welcome! International most certainly welcome!

My son LOVES these. I'll have to see if I can find one of those machines anywhere around here before I sign up though. He'll never part with his.

I LOVE these. I always hunt down two or three machines where ever I go. I hope I will get some other than Florida or Ohio for my collection.

Love'em!!! Just one suggestion...you get a better "squish" if you use a penny from 1982 or before. Pennies after 1982 are zinc with a copper coating and make a weird squish. :) Check out www.pennycollector.com -- I didn't realize just HOW MANY pennies are out there. Too cool!!! :D

I just love these little things! I want to make a bracelet by drilling a little hole in them and using a jump ring. Can't wait to expand the collection!

Check out the above website. I found some machines in my area from these lists.

gbnaabennett - I don't mind international.

Mine are rather scattered (Newport, RI - Memphis, TN - Philadelphia, PA - Stone Mountain, GA - Pensacola, FL - lots of national parks out west - Chicago, IL) so I'm hoping for some other, scattered pennies!

Texas, California, and the Midwest are places I'd love to get a pressing from.

i am ridiculously excited about this swap! and i'm so glad to know i'm not the only one that loves these things, all my friends think i'm a total goofball! whoever i get as partners will be able to add san antonio, texas to their collection.

sonora- fantastic idea about making a bracelet! i may have to copy you.... ;)
