Good idea and I like the case. We have a few of them around somewhere….. didn’t know there was a collecting case though.

We love to smush pennies. The girls have special memory boxes that they keep them in. In fact, they play with their coins often.

I can’t count how many pennies we’ve smashed..and yet we always seem to lose them. Need to get an album for preservation!

I hadn’t seen the albums before, either. I occasionally picked these up during our travels and used them as geocache swag in caches too small for much else.

I had no idea there were pressed penny books. Brilliant. We love the pennies, but inevitably they get put in a pocket and lost in the wash or something. I’ll have to look for the book.

What a great idea! I haven’t seen the penny press in Europe anywhere, but I don’t know if I missed it in my travels or it’s just not there.

Gotta love the pressed pennies. It is hard to make sure you don’t lose them though, so the collector books are great.

We are all about the smashed penny and books. At Disneyland they have smashed penny books you can buy and tons of places to do pennies so I try to do a different one each trip. The only hard thing is to remember to put 51 cents in my pocket!

I love making smashed pennies! The little case is a really neat idea. I’ve never seen those before.
