    We have a bunch and a couple of books but can't keep up with them. They usually get lost in the house somewhere.
    Too many toys. Not enough space!

      I have a modest collection from the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park. I got one or two from Universal Studios too. I enjoy them.

        we always spend a ton of money on those for the kids at Disney World. They sell albums for them right there so we just buy them as we find them and fill em up. they are a neat keepsake

          I've got almost two books full of them. I just can't resist squishing a penny!

            We used to...but the kids have outgrown that....Were just in Disney World last month and we didn't flatten a single penny (just spent LOTS of 'em )

              I've gotten them on a few recent trips, like when I went to Vegas. I think the last time we went to the Gettysburg Battlefield I got one from the Visitor's Center, but I'll probably end up giving them to my neice and nephew.

                    I've only seen a flat penny machine once and that was at a rest stop on the Garden State Parkway.
                    Besides that I never seen one before.

                    In the old days I mostly use to see those good luck horseshoe medallion machines where you can imprint words on them using the machine.

                      I totally misread the thread title, at first glance it looked like flattened penis

                        On our Spring Break trip this year to the West coast we flattened pennies at pretty much every place that we stopped at. We have several from various trips to zoos and fairs over the last 10 years, but up until recently we hadn't found the storage books.

                            From FL to NYC my boy always does these things, when I was little my sister showed me to just put them on the train tracks and they flatten like a pancake.
