    Flattened pennies

    Do you stop and make an get those flattened pennies from the machines at zoos and parks or other touristy places.We finally found some books to but them in and filled almost 3 of them.Cheap little souveniers and reminders of the places we've been.Anyone else spend the 51 cents on these?

      Sometimes we'd line like 5 pennys up on the railroad tracks and if you're lucky the train will meld them all into one mass.

      Most of the time they just got lost when the train road over them

              I did it but for the longest time I was terrified to because I was told that the train would derail if you put a penny on the track.

                Just yesterday I was going through some stuff and I found three I got from a trip to Disneyland ten years ago. (Man the time flies.) They were from Aladdin, and Jasmin was made from a quarter. I thought, wow, that was a waste of money, and threw them in the garbage.

                About five minutes later I fished 'em out. (Sigh.) Can't seem to throw anything away...

                    When I was younger I would get one everytime I saw a machine that made them. I'm not even sure if I still have them since it's been so long ago.

                        I've one or two of them, but I know my kids would go crazy over them (Turning big gears and smashing something in the process is right up their alley). I try not to point them out when we are on vacation
                        It's all good!

                              Dimes are okay but nickles and quarters will derail the train!
