I collect Press Pennies but unfortunately, I will probably never find all the machines in the world. So, dear farmgirls, I am asking for your assitance. I am asking if you know of a press penny near you, could you please send me one? I will reimburse you for the penny, quarters and postage. This would be so wonderful to me to see what you all come up with me. Let me know.
Cheers,
Heather |

I have a friend who collect those he drills two hole one at each end of the penny and uses those holes to attach it to his cane. It is just covered in them pretty cool too.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

I found one the other day in a bag of thrift shop Legos. A quarter too. Not sure where I put it, but when I come across it, I'll get your address. Know there are others around here too, probably hiding in the desk I can't reach quite yet in the sewing room.

You mean like the souvenir things you can get from different places? Metal, with designs and sayings, etc..?
If so, I will get you one from a great spot here, in town!

You take a penny, put it in a presse machine designed to specifically press the penny with a design. The machines are located all over the world and I like to track them down.

Aha! I've seen those, and I think we have some right around here. Didn't know that you supplied your own penny, though ;)
I'll see what I can come up with!

Thank you!! It's a way of collecting something that is portable and doesn't cost much- 51 cents each and it doesn't take up a lot of room. It is an illness with me....lol
