Pressed Coin Book Disney World
Download File ::: https://fancli.com/2tsaFv
This booklet has 65 pockets: eight for coins to be pressed (so you can store money for future pennies), 48 for pressed pennies, and nine for pressed quarters (yes, they have those at the parks too).
There are also an increasing amount of machines that take credit cards, so no change required, and even the penny is provided for you. These digital machines cost more (often $1 each pressed penny or 8 for $5) but they save you the trouble of carrying around coins and finding shiny pennies.
8. The machines are present in/near every Walt Disney World Park attraction, in the resorts, at Disney Springs and even at the Disney Cruise Line terminals. To see a list of all the pressed coin machines at WDW, visit The Unofficial Walt Disney World Pressed Coin Guide here: you can search by design, location or type(s) of coins. Since the machines are often moved around and the designs change this is the best way to keep up with the most current designs available. There are always a lot of new designs coming out to keep your collecting fresh. There are a number of sites that attempt to keep track of all the coin pressing machines, but it is challenging to keep up since they are often replaced with new dies, or moved around the whole resort. Disney has not published an Official list of the designs/machines, so collectors have to rely on each other to learn about any changes/additions.
TIPS: Choose older pennies, pre 1982, when the U.S. Mint used copper only to make the pennies. Otherwise you will see streaks of zinc in the penny when it is pressed. Canadian pennies actually produce a better image. When placing the penny in the machine, face the head side away from the quarters and you will still be able to read the year of the penny on the smooth side. Many collectors use a specific year special to them for some reason, or one that corresponds to a specific event. If you have a less than shiny penny you can use small amount of ketchup, rubbing it in with a small brush, rinse, then make a paste with baking soda and small amount of water. Rub this over the penny using your fingers and when rinsing it away you should see a shiny penny. Another tried and true method is using a commercial product named Brasso, or NevrDull that leads to a brilliant shine. IF there is something gooey on your coin use Goo-Gone. If you are feeling lazy just place your penny in a small amount of Coca-Cola and let it sit for a few minutes.
With airlines charging for luggage, inexpensive souvenirs can become expensive. For example, if they are heavy they can make your suitcase over weight. Or if they are too big to fit, you have to buy another piece of luggage. That being said, I suggest one of my favorite souvenirs, pressed coins.
There are three different types of pressed coin machines. Penny machines cost .51 and dime machines are .85. Quarter machines will run you $1.25. There are not too many souvenirs anywhere that are around a dollar or less.
Disney offers coin collection books for purchase at the parks. There are several different designs to choose from. They typically hold 48 pressed pennies or dimes and 6 quarters. These books are affordable and a great way to display your pressed coins. A slender collection book filled with coins is not going to be too big or heavy to fit in a suitcase.
I discovered pressed penny machines during my December 2007 trip and made a few for my babymoon travel scrapbook. Unfortunately I never had time to start or complete the said scrapbook so I carried the 3 pressed pennies in my wallet for 5 years.
We enjoy allowing our kids to collect pressed coins while on vacation. There are machines for both pressed pennies and pressed quarters located all throughout the parks and resorts. After my kids started wanting to do them often, I had to come up with a way to stay more organized with it!
Pressed coin books One of the least expensive souvenirs you can get at Disney World are the pressed coins found throughout the parks and resorts. Having a place to organize them helps keep them all in one spot and makes them harder to misplace.
Pressed coin collecting is one of the most fun (and cheaper) souvenirs at Disney World. They are made especially fun by the fact that they do take some preparation that you can do together with your family before the trip. Once you get to Disney World, you can finish off the process by making and collecting your pressed coins!
Next is this nice looking Coin Collection Book that has 60 pockets inside perfect for this entire set plus a few extra if needed. This book will hold 2 inch x 2 inch cardboard flips that will protect each coin then you jus slide them into each page. The nice thing about the cardboard flips if they can be written on to include information on the design, collected date, location or whatever you want to include. Here is the link for the Coin Collection Book if you are interested in this option.
As mentioned above if you wanted to use that coin book you would also need to get some of the 22 cardboard flips. These are available at pretty much every coin collecting shop or online retailer. These do come in a large variety of window sizes, so be sure and select the 40mm version as that will allow for the entire medallions to be visible. Here is the link for a version on Amazon but come in quantities of 50. Just be aware you may need to get a second order if you have the entire set of medallions.
So other than keeping your pressed pennies in these little books, what else can you do with them Some very creative people have shared their ideas on the web, making artwork and jewelry from their pennies.
Today there are approximately 204 penny press machines at Disney World theme parks, water parks, resort hotels, and Disney Springs. The number of pressed coins that can be made into elongated coins is a whopping 770. This includes pressed dime and quarter machines. In order to collect every coin, it would cost approximately $462.14, and the time it would take to visit every pressed penny, dime, or quarter machine would be extreme.
Today most of the pressed penny machines operate by inserting two quarters and a penny into the machine. Then watch as the coin drops between two mechanical presses as you turn the crank, and before your eyes that penny is transformed into an elongated penny imprinted with a unique Disney image. *Dime and quarter pressed coin machines require 4 quarters and a quarter or dime*
Pressed penny machines are located in all four Disney theme parks, two water parks, Disney hotel resorts, and Disney Springs. You can find WDW pressed coin checklist pocket guides online which will give you all the locations and whether they are penny, dime, or quarter machines.
The Comfort of Our KindPART ONE1You know how things happen.You're thirteen years old, working at your first real job, and one morning while kneeling in the weed-clogged flowerbed you look up because you sense a presence and sure enough, standing over you, watching you from the other side of the iron gate is a small man in a colorless suit and hat, whose face looks like he has just finished smiling; and you look from his face to his hands holding the bars and that's when you see that his two pinkies are split at the tips like snakes' tongues and he is wearing small diamond rings on each of the four clawlike tips.He grips the gate to show you his hands; he wants you to fear his touch.He doesn't speak, and you are too startled to do anything but look up, still kneeling and trying to reconcile the weirdness of the moment with the bright summer sun and whatever you were thinking before you noticed him standing above you.For an eternal minute you look at each other, passing nothing between you.\"So,\" he finally says, in a voice no different from any man. \"You're getting them by the roots\"\"Yessir.\"That's it. That's all that happens. You look down because you want him to leave, and he does. Then, with your fingers curled into the dirt, tight around a knot of crabgrass, you glance up, watching him walk away.When you were thirteen, this was just another intrusion of the adult world.Now, when you are older, you know that was the first time you saw the Devil.You know how things happen.You have been seven years old for three days, and after Sunday Schoolthe preacher's boy drags you out the back door of Fellowship Hall and knocks the snap out of you in the parking lot because Annette Funicello is his girl. Say I love Darlene, he says as he slaps the side of your head, then yells your name as you run away. You turn, and the rock hits your face before you remember seeing it.And later, when you are sitting in your parents' car, waiting for them to finish with Coffee Hour and you're trying not to bleed on the upholstery, the floormats, or your church clothes--you promise yourself to avoid worship of any sort.Here's another thing that happens.In the dark one night, in the hallway between your kitchen and the back porch, you bump into a man you soon recognize as your wife's son. He laughs when you jump; then you pat him nervously on the arm because you don't know what he wants. He's lucky you didn't nail him.\"Just dropped in for some of that home cooking\" you ask.\"I'm on my way north,\" he says, as if direction is the same thing as direction.\"Okay,\" you say. \"Okay.\"You both stand in the dark, trying to see each other's eyes. He wants to see if you look much older; you want to see if the spite is still there--like you've remembered.\"Okay,\" you say again. \"Make yourself at home.\"\"It is,\" he says.Here is the final thing.At your parents' house is a photograph. In the picture, you are standing between your brother and sister, behind your parents, and everybody is smiling.Every time you see the photograph you think it's funny how the proof of a moment, a snapshot, comes to represent everything that precedes and follows--even those occasional, elusive things like faith, hope, grace, and the comfort of your kind.And you remember when
