Description:

I collect pressed pennies (also called elongated cents) and thought it would be fun to swap some. They make great souviniers from the places you've been. Pressed penny machines can be found in almost any touristy place. Most towns have one. (Check at a local museam or if you live in a really big city, tourist shops)

I'm proposing to swap 1 pressed penny with 5 partners. That way, you only need to find 1 penny pressing machine and press 5 pennies. It only cost 51 cents per a pressed penny. make sure the pennies are pre-1982 pennies to get an optimum press. If you would like to include a little write up about the engraving on the penny to explain where it came from and etc. that would be great. Good Luck! Have i forgotten anything? let me know! This is most likely a US and Canada swap. but if anyone from europe etc. wants to join write me. Must have at least a 4.5 to participate. talk to me if other. newbies welcome!

Aww this is a cool idea, unfortunatly it's against the law here to deform the queens coins ... tut!

would i any one like to do this swap again? i really had fun! havn't received all of mine yet. but really have enjoyed the one's i've gotten. a problem might occur if you get the same partner. i think it'll be fun!

user7639 05/ 9/2007 #

I would love to do it again. I'm hooked. If I get the same partner, I can always send a different penny -- several to choose from here.

Dear kittenmeowmeow, crankytiger, boopgirly, AeroChik, and Julie Baxley,

I just sent your pennies out today. I am sorry about the lateness, I have been stuck in a migraine for the last 5 days and just coming out of it. So they're finally on their way, hope you like them!!

Carrie
