Hello Megan, and thanks for asking planDisney such a wonderful question!
Even though my family is now full of grown-up Mouseketeers, we still enjoy our Disney tradition of discovering and collecting smashed coins from the many various Coin Press Machines dotted all around
Walt Disney World Resort.
Coin Press Machines really are one of the most budget-friendly collectable souvenirs at the most magical place on earth that are suitable for Mouseketeers of all ages to enjoy!
Megan, I'm more than happy to share that it's super easy to discover the many various
Coin Press Machines at Walt Disney World Resort by checking out these handy interactive maps. Under the heading
Find Coin Press Machines - simply click the location (highlighted in blue) to reveal all the Coin Press Machines within that destination.
My top planDisney tip for creating the ultimate pressed penny is that ahead of your October Disney vacation you'll want to be sure to collect up a few newer, or shinier pennies or quarters to use in the Coin Press Machines. Plus, a fun activity might be to clean the coins by soaking them in warm soapy water and then scrubbing with an old toothbrush. And then lastly buffing the coins with a soft cloth until they reach a super shiny, pixie-dusted glimmer!
If you should have any further questions for me regarding your upcoming
Autumnal vacation to Walt Disney World Resort, then please do pop back to visit
me at planDisney.
Remember, if you see a penny pick it up and, then all day you'll receive good luck!
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
