docsfishn Pillar of the Community United States 1031 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 9:40 pm I have at least 1 thanks to a fellow CCF member. I have never actually had one crushed myself, however if that's what you want to do with your money go for it! Will I ever have one crushed? Mabey. Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 9:34 pm I've rolled a few cents myself. I prefer to use pre 1982. The reverse side of the elongated cent seems to show the original design of the coin better than the zinc ones do. Lesson learned....Don't try to use a 1943. I hate magnets!

She has Disney, Chicago, San Diego, Wash DC, Mall of America, Black Hills, San Fran. It's a really cheap souvenir. She even bought an album made just for them at the Mall of America.

dreamstones Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 02/11/2009 06:25 am I think it is fine...after all, it most likely is the cheapest souvenir you can get from a place. Until a year or so ago, my brother used to get 10-12 at a time to use in his geocache as souvenirs for the folks who found it! ( his cache was near the city zoo) They would leave something in return as well as sign the log book. Any way I like 'em. Report this Post to the Staff
