BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Quote Disney Changes Pressed Penny Machines at Disney World on: August 13, 2019 Are you a collector of pressed pennies? If you are or you are thinking about souvenir pennies at Walt Disney World they seem to be rolling out new machines. Also, it may be no surprise but they have gone up in price. Pressed pennies are now $1 instead of the previous 51¢. We found these new machines at Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Liberty Square. The new machines have a credit card slot and will only accept bills, no more loose change. The days of carrying around loose change are done. The new machines will now provide your penny. So far the Disney souvenir pressed pennies seem to be the same. They are just supplied by the machine. You also have the option of buying all the pennies from a single machine at one time but there wasn’t a price decrease for doing so. Even with the increase, the souvenir pressed pennies are still one of the least expensive souvenir options at Disney. I do like the convince of not having to carry a bag of loose change around. https://chipandco.com/disney-changes-pressed-penny-machines-at-disney-world-361605/?fbclid=IwAR3kbydf7IbTzTRan67LmL4copu1vOpTQGJDJvHvhMKIlWAbSUzctYH4754#respond Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seals 111 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I see it says if you use a credit card it's charged $4 and you get all 4. So if each of your 2 children want the same penny and you only have a credit card -- that's $8 for Disney! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 The one upside I can see is no more packing/lugging bags of change ...and chasing them between people's legs when you drop them. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I just wrapped 150 bucks worth of quarters and pennies. Now what do I do? The washers and dryers still take quarters, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 The mouse is putting the screws to me. Everything I hold dear is gone. My world is collapsing. Pressed pennies cost a buck, no quarters in the washers, what’s next? Will they take away the cinnamon buns on Main Street? Next thing you know they’ll be closing the Great Movie Ride BradyBzLyn...Mo and keith_h 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
