companion attraction at the Volo Auto Museum complex has had a penny press
for several years. This is the

machine at the Great Wolf Lodge dispenses zinc pennies. The designs include three character designs
(Wiley Wolf, Violet Wolf, and Sprinkles Bear ) and the MagiQuest logo.

HARRY
CARAY’S/ CHICAGO
SPORTS MUSEM Water Tower Place, Chicago, Illinois
The
locally popular and nationally annoying baseball announcer is credited with
making Me Out to the Ballgame a 7th-inning-stretch tradition. Will Farrell’s imitation is pretty much on-target. Restaurants using his name and image have
popped up in a couple tourist destinations in the city. This machine is found at Water Tower Place
and features a caricature of his image, his famous “Holy Cow!” buzz phrase,
the city skyline, and “My Lucky Penny” “Chicago Sports Museum” with a
horseshoe. A similar
set of coins, with some overlap, is found at the Harry Caray’s at Navy Pier
[not available on our website]. We have a
limited number of the Water Tower Place sets on cleaned/polished Canadian
1964 copper cents, and on circulated wheat cents.

RETIRED SINGLES |
SUBMARINE FORCE MUSEUM Groton, Connecticut Two
singles from the Submarine Force Library & Museum. These are retired, and are pressed on
copper cents.
Retired
machine, Pennycollector machine #2, featuring the U.S.S. Nautilus. Nautilus was the first nuclear-powered
submarine, and was launched in 1954. It is open for tours. For another key moment in nuclear power history, check out
the Oak Ridge penny from Tennessee.
Retired
Pennycollector machine #4, with the silhouette of a submarine and “Silent
Service.” This differs from retired
machine #1 – it has border dots around the entire penny design, there are
grip bars on both ends, and the one on the right covers the designers
initials in the border.

BOONSHOFT MUSEUM OF DISCOVERY Dayton, Ohio
We
already had the current 4-coin set from this Dayton children’s museum, but
now we have obtained copies of the retired single-die offering (and on
copper!). This is
retired machine #2, with “BOONSHOFT” printed along the dinosaur’s back
instead of “Dayton” (which is retired machine #1). The
current set of 4 is out of stock but can normally be found on our OHIO PAGE.

AULANI –
A DISNEY RESORT IN HAWAII Kapolei,
Hawaii
We were able to get a limited number of sets
from the Aulani resort in Hawaii. 8
pennies rolled on zinc coins supplied by the machine. Once they sell out, there is no assurance
we will be able to get them again. Oddity: Presscoins decided to assign these
sets a Disney World catalog number!
(WDW25037-25044). Consistent
with Disneyland’s practice, they have backstamps (shown as the 9th coin in
the photo - you will receive 8 pennies). Designs include Stitch (naturally); Duffy;
and Chip & Dale.

DISNEY’S
VERO BEACH RESORT Vero
Beach, Floirida
Rolled on
cleaned and polished U.S. copper cents.
Special batch rolled on U.S. 1943 steel
circulated cents. These have been
sprayed with a matte-finish clear-coat (Krylon or Rustoleum) to help protect
them from rusting, but don’t immerse them in water). They roll slightly short due to the harder
coin material.
Special
batch rolled on King George VI circulated Canadian cents. These coins are from the 1940s-1950s, and
the King’s head will be visible on the reverse.
BU
(uncirculated) U.S. quarter. The last

EPCOT FRANCE
We were
finally able to roll sets that weren’t almost all off-center! A couple are still questionable, but have
full images. This photo is a
representative example – your set will be in similar condition.
___________________ We still have some defective sets at a lower price, if condition
doesn’t matter too much to you:

MONORAIL MEDALLION 2025
We don’t
normally stock medallions – unless they involve trains. Bronze finish; about the size of an old
silver dollar. |
SKYLINER MEDALLION 2025
The
Skyliner is a second cousin to a train, so we stocked a couple for
resale. Bronze finish; about the size
of an old silver dollar. |

BUSY BEE GAS/STORE Live Oak, Florida Busy Bee
is a chain of gas station/convenience stores. Their location in Live Oak
(northern Florida) has a penny press. Some
designs look the same but are actually different: bee with “Queen Bee” on its
chest; nearly identical bee without “Queen Bee”; “Don’t Hurry – Bee Happy”
with round logo; Florida map with round logo. We offer
these on cleaned/polished 1964 Canadian cents (FL74ca) and also rolled a
couple sets on circulated wheat pennies (FL74w). This location charges more for its pennies,
so we have to set a higher price as well.
Shiny Canadian coins: FL74ca
$9.99 Circulated wheat pennies: FL74w $10.99 |
BACK IN STOCK WORLD’S LARGEST ENTERTAINMENT McDONALD’S Orlando, Florida
Back in

polished Canadian 1964 copper cents, or on U.S. wheat pennies. The Canadian cents (TN96ca) give a fuller
image.
|
RUBY FALLS – LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN Chattanooga, Tennessee
I have
been visiting this location for more than 10 years and finally was there on a
day when the penny press was working.
Not working well, mind you – but working. Once a
4-die machine, it has been reduced to 2 dies.
Two of the designs roll with extremely long tails (see photo). The
machine rolls on pre-loaded zinc pennies supplied by the machine. The pennies are generally well-circulated. Designs:

AMERICAN MUSEUM OF SCIENCE & ENERGY Oak Ridge, Tennessee
This
highly educational museum focuses on various energy initiatives, but the
primary topic is the development of atomic energy (and specifically the bombs
developed nearby during the second World War). There’s a
single-die machine in the lobby. It
rolls a bit short (see photo), but we offer coins rolled on cleaned &
polished 1964 Canadian cents or on U.S. wheat pennies. All the
wheat pennies are rolled on 1945 pennies – 1945 was the birth year of the
Atomic Era. All
copies roll slightly short (cutting of part of the top). The Canadian pennies (TN94ca) have a fuller
image than the wheats. |

KENTUCKY
We also have a few new Kentucky machines from our
visit in August 2025, listed below |
STREET SCENE Lexington, Kentucky
Walking
into this second-hand store is like walking into a museum. I saw a lot of great mid-century modern
furniture, and bought a few Fiesta dinnerware pieces in colors I didn’t
already have. Beyond that, they have a
penny press with 4 designs unique to their store. This
machine was first reported in early 2025. |

GEORGIA

I-75 NORTH WELCOME CENTER Lake Park, Georgia
The
various welcome centers all across Georgia have the same designs, se we
normally sell the coins from the southbound I-75 welcome center in
Rossville/Ringgold. We had
time to kill on our last journey coming out of Florida and rolled a small
number of sets at the Valdosta/Lake Park rest area in case you want some from
that specific location. These are
rolled on cleaned & polished 1964 Canadian copper cents, so they are in
better condition than some of our older offerings. |

HOUSE
FROM A CHRISTMAS STORY Cleveland,
Ohio NEW
SECOND MACHINE
This machine was installed just days after
our visit in June 2025. It’s a
hand-crank machine that takes your quarters and pennies, and we rolled these
on cleaned & polished U.S. copper cents.
Two designs appear to be the same as two
designs in the automated “Ralphie” machine.
We are still studying them to determine if they are truly
identical. Those two designs are the
House logo and the famous leg lamp.
The other two designs in this machine are Bumpus House and a pig with
“how the piggy’s eat” (yes, they misspell it as piggy’s instead of piggies). All coins roll slightly short (as shown in
photo).

3-die machine was added days before our August 2025 visit. We rolled sets on Canadian copper 1964
cents that have been cleaned and polished.

KAWAII BUBBLE TEA – QUARTERS! Clinton Township, Michigan
We are
finally stocking the Kawaii Bubble Tea sets on quarters. These are rolled on BU U.S. quarters, and
this is the complete set of 3. Designs: Cartoon
panda Cartoon
fox Cartoon
cup of bubble tea Here’s
the story behind these. When Kawaii
Bubble Tea ordered a penny press for their Mt. Clemens location, the engraver
mistakenly made oversized dies using the quarter-size template. New penny-sized dies were rapidly prepared,
and when installed the machine rolled pennies. The
quarter dies sat idle until Kawaii opened a second location, on Garfield Road
in nearby Clinton Township. They
decided to use the quarter dies at that location. Eventually the Mt. Clemens location closed
and the penny press moved to Clinton Township, where it now sits side-by-side
with the quarter machine. Both
machines press the identical designs, but in different sizes (large/small)
and on different host coins (quarters/pennies). Yes, we
have the pennies too – they’re pictured on our Michigan page, or you can
use the second “add to cart” button below to order them. |

coincide with the refurbishment of Test Track, a new set of 8 designs was

are on zinc pennies supplied by the machine.
We expect these to have Presscoins catalog number WDW25037-250454.

GRAND FLORIDIAN WOODEN NICKEL We’re not exactly sure when these were produced. It’s
strange because Mickey is dressed in construction gear, so maybe they were
handed out during a construction project there. These are only slightly used and in very good condition.
The blue ink on the wooden nickels is a bit darker than the photo shows. Photo shows both sides of a single coin. |

Ecuador. These bimetal coins are the diameter of
a U.S. penny, but slightly thicker. Some commercial penny presses
will not accept these because of their thickness, but they are great for

Michigan, about half the machines – all older machines – accepted them Roll of 20 uncirculated coins. |
