CitygirlSF Posted October 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2012 DH and I are sailing on the Allure this Sunday. I have a huge squished penny collection and am wondering if they have any penny machines either on the ship, at Port Everglades, and also at our other stops, Labadee, Falmouth, &/or Cozumel. Thanks!

I have no idea what a squished penny collection is. But there are no penny slots on the Allure if that is what you are asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Flattened pennies (like being run over by a train...and there are machines that will flatten them for you) might be a better term. I've never seen them on any ship or at a private beach...sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecruiser09 Posted October 19, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2012 you might find one at the airport but other than that I have never seem them on a ship or in the port areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted October 19, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2012 On its maiden voyage The Allure had a live squished penny man on board, making Allure souveniers, but that was only for the first few weeks, I think I still have some of the pennies lying around somewhere, but the wife would kill me if I let them go. :D DH and I are sailing on the Allure this Sunday.

No, it's not gambling :) It's a machine where you put a penny in, 2 quarters, or maybe more, in the slot, and this machine makes a souvenir token out of your penny.

CitygirlSF Posted October 19, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Don't they have machines that do that at Walt Disney World? I have one from each park at WDW and one from each land at Disneyland. I even have one from Madrid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be mistaken, but I have a vague recollection of seeing one on Oasis. If so, I'm sure it would be on the Boardwalk. They definitely had one of those "Tell Your Fortune" machines.

Trekker954 Posted October 19, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh, now I know what you mean. Yeah, the Allure did have that on its maiden voyage and I can't recall if the Oasis had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicfairy Posted October 19, 2012 #15 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It would be neat if they did have one on Oasis . My DD loves them and my DH has a bunch from when we went to Universal Studios. They are a cool cheaper souvenir. DD gets them where ever she sees the machines ( zoos and amusement parks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time4u2go Posted October 19, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 19, 2012 We make our own by putting them on the streetcar tracks in New Orleans. Cost: $0.01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted October 19, 2012 #17 Share Posted October 19, 2012 My DH collects these everywhere! It's not the same as flattening a penny, the machine actually imprints a local image and words onto the penny. And I agree, it's a fun, cheap (51 cents) souvenir, a little like a passport stamp;) DH keeps his in a "Penny Passport" like this.... http://coppermemories.com/cbook.html?gclid=COfozu2BjrMCFcFxOgodqhsAZA Alas, we didn't see any onboard Oasis, or in the Eastern ports she called on (or the Western ones we've been on other cruises), because DH probably would have found them! It would be another revenue stream for RCL to have them onboard tho;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnx7 Posted October 20, 2012 #19 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I collect squished pennies, but I've never seen a penny press machine on any cruise ship I've been :( Edited October 20, 2012 by johnx7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorothyh Posted October 20, 2012 #21 Share Posted October 20, 2012 We were on the Norwegian Gem last month and they did indeed have a squished penny machine, exactly where pennycollector.com said it was! My daughter collects squished pennies, so we were thrilled to find it. They charged $1 to your seapass; you didn't need quarters and pennies. The machine supplied the penny to drop in and you turned the handle to squish it just like any other squished penny machine. There were four different design options.

seashinesunshine Posted October 20, 2012 #22 Share Posted October 20, 2012 My DD collects them, haven't seen them anywhere, but now I plan to look more. They are getting more popular so maybe they will be more common as time goes on. We try and use a pre 1982 penny, being more real copper, you can sometimes get really cool color streaks. I'll have to add old pennies to the packing list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad-dog74 Posted October 20, 2012 #23 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Its a wonder RCCL doesn't have them... after all it does cost to make them. Edited October 20, 2012 by mad-dog74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There one of those things you don't really acknowledge unless you have reason too. Yes we were--DD loves collecting them from wherever we travel. We even always travel with a large supply of quarters and new shiny pennies (they make the best, easiest to read ones) in case we come across one. We've never been on Oasis and Allure but have not seen them on our cruise travels, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
