I'm curious - do any of you collect souvenir pennies? It's something I've done since I was a kid. I haven't gone to a lot of places, but I have a nice little collection of them. |

We do Heather!! We don't have many either, but we look for them when ever we venture out, which isn't much it seems. My hubs and oldest are self employed so it's hard to get a way for vacation it seems. We managed to get a couple from Glacier National Park when we there back in August for a fly by! I believe our Bend bowling alley still has a machine, I'll have to check into it, if so, I'll send you one!! They are so much fun! |

Yes we do. Don't have a lot as it is hard to find them where we travel. But we are always on the lookout. |

Are souvenir pennies the ones you put in a machine and squish-stamp them into an oval?
They turn into flooring around here...

I'm pleasantly surprised so many of you are into the pennies!
Chris - yup! Those are the souvenir pennies. What is that floor in?
April - Thanks! That would be fun!!!
Denise - Wright Pat. has some neat designs. I have a couple from there. The Ohio caverns have a machine too if you ever go there.

We haven't been to Ohio caverns but definitely have one from Wright-Patt.
Someone spent loads of time doing that floor for sure.
On a side note, when we in the military the guys always came home with coins and paper they got when overseas. One of our friends took his coins and put them on top of a trunk he had built. Used epoxy. I imagine they still have that trunk. We really should do some similar with JT's. |
