jerzygrl Posted July 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2005 This may sound like a dumb question to some, but my son loves to collect the pennies that you press. Anywhere we go and he sees one he has to do them. He asked if they had them on the cruise ship. Does anyone know if Royal Caribbean have these machines on them? We are sailing on the Freedom of the seas next year, but wanted to know about any of the other cruise ships. Thanks !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find some machines at the ports though, and have some from my trips, so keep your eyes peeled when you're passing a souvinere shop. I try to remember to carry the change with me, so that I don't have to bug my friends. They are getting used to me though, and now they even point the machiens out to me, LOL. Hope that helped.

CRUSINGFAMILY Posted September 3, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I have done 10 RCCL cruises now and they do not have those machines. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilivy Posted October 24, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I made my "Squished penneys" into a charm bracelet....they were a little long to be comfortable and so now I have converted it into a necklace and it always stirs up a conversation when I wear it!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejennie Posted February 12, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2006 You can always scrapbook them as an embellishment in your scrapbook :) Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frchteaze Posted February 12, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Just in case anyone doesn't know about it: http://www.pennycollector.com/ If you click on Locations you can search by state or country for reported locations. Some have pictures too. Or you can add locations if you know of some that aren't listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klh-or Posted February 25, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 25, 2006 What a great link - thank you! My daughters collect the "smashed pennies." We are going on a trip to the midwest in June and then an Alaska cruise in August, and I'll be sure to print the appropriate pages off and be on the lookout for the machines. Also, what a great idea to use these in scrapbooks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted April 14, 2006 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2006 In case no one here knows this the USPO sells little collecter books for squished pennies. We purchased one and it is great. We were quite surprised when we were at the Maui Ocean Center and found not only pennny machines but one for squished quarters! That could get expensive (g).

Spikesgirl Posted June 3, 2006 #11 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I checked out the website and while there weren't any machines located for our upcoming Asia trip, I noticed that next year's trip to Scotland will reveal a wealth of squished pennies for our pet sitter. My question - do they squish pennies or something else in foreign countries? It doesn't really matter, but it just got me thinkin - and you know how dangerous that could be. Thanks!

texas greeneyes Posted June 27, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 27, 2006 We used a squished penny machine in Toronto, Canada last summer. What we got was a squished U.S. penny. :eek: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesgirl Posted June 27, 2006 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks for the answer, texas greeneyes. I've asked a few people around here and just gotten blank stares. Just made me wonder... Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesgirl Posted August 16, 2006 #14 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Would you believe that in the Ming Tomb outside of Beijing, we found four squished penny machines? My friend will freak when she sees what we brought back. for the record, you bought tokens and used them as they don't have 'pennies' per se in Yuen. It was too cool.
