Hi, Tamara! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for your question!
My daughter loves getting pressed pennies when we visit and I love that
pressed coins are an inexpensive, yet unique, souvenir that we can take home. We find pressed coin machines all across the Disneyland Resort including the Downtown Disney District and the Disneyland Resort Hotels. This
map displays all the locations of the pressed coin machines throughout the resort and will even tell you whether the machine is for pennies, nickels, or quarters.
You can also use the
Disneyland app to locate pressed coin machines when you are in the parks. Change the display to show “Shops” and then in the upper right corner tap “Show List.” From there, scroll down and tap “Pressed Coin Machines.” Finally, select “Find on Map” and it will show you all the locations just like the map on the Disneyland Resort website.
When we are prepping for a trip, I like to give my daughter the task of sorting through our pennies to find the cleanest and shiniest of the bunch. The most pristine coins make the best souvenirs. Then I take an old pill bottle and stack two quarters with every penny so all our change is ready to go when we get to the parks.
I hope this information was useful. Have a fantastic time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
