I have a few of them myself,one from a coin show commemorating the show.They don't have much of a premium.There is a machine in a city near me that you insert a penny and 75 cents and you get a rolled penny with a design of the city on it.They are also made with other denomination coins,but mostly on pennies.

specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 06/24/2011 6:20 pm also called elongated cents. Disney has marketed these things like crazy. You can get maps of the locations of these machines throughout Disney parks, sometimes there is a thematic set of 4 machines plus a machine that presses a quarter. On ebay I found some made on steel cents. I thought that was unusual. Report this Post to the Staff
