During the summer while our kids are out of school my wife and I alternate taking a day off each week to take the girls out and do something a little different. Otherwise they seem to be drawn into their rooms with iPads in tow only showing their faces when they need something to eat or have to recharge their electronic gadgets. Recently it was one of my weeks and I thought it would be fun to head over and enjoy an afternoon at our local Dave & Buster’s Arcade. Located in Orlando just off of the notorious International Drive, Dave & Buster’s is basically a huge arcade. I think of it a ..read more

In a previous post that you can read here, I went over all the new collectible medallion designs that were released at the beginning of the year. However, not all of these coins were part of the “2024 Dated” set. Some of the others were new “non-dated” designs, or part of separate mini-sets that we will review in future posts so stay tuned. In this post I’m going to show off just the 2024 Dated Medallion Set. Here is a look at the 2024 design that appears on the reverse side of all coins in this set. Happy hunting!

In a previous post that you can read here, I went over all the new pressed penny designs that were released at the beginning of the year. However, not all of these pennies were part of the “2024 Dated” set. Some of the others were new “non-dated” designs, or older previously retired designs that were brought back. In this post I’m going to show off just the 2024 Dated Pressed Penny Set. Here is a picture of all the pennies in this set, and below that I’ll explain where each one can be found. Happy hunting!

How I started collecting Pressed Pennies

To be honest I thought I had written about this years ago, but recently I’ve had some questions and comments asking about how I first got into the hobby. When I went back through all my posts I realized that it’s apparently not something I ever wrote about in detail. So in today’s article we are going to time travel back quite a few years to where it all began. I’ll try to keep this on point and not to go onto too many tangents. Here’s my story and how I started collecting Pressed Pennies. I’m originally from Ottawa Canada where I grew up with my parents and younger sister. We were lucky enou ..read more

Animal Kingdom Lodge NEW Pressed Pennies

This is one of few Disney resorts I still have yet to stay at and is on my bucket list. I’ve been fortunate enough to stay at almost every resort on property but this one has eluded me so far. Which is strange because it’s one of my favorites. It has a couple of restaurants on my best of lists (Sanaa and Boma), the theming and design is unbelievable, and there is an actual safari in the back that many of the rooms look out over. Fortunately I live nearby, so even though we aren’t currently staying here we can still make a quick trip over to find some new pressed pennies. It was a bit rainy on ..read more

Disney PeopleMover Variant – Free Pressed Penny

1M ago
The PeopleMover originally opened in Disneyland California in 1967, and then here in Walt Disney World Florida in 1975. Guests board small trains that ride an elevated track for a grand circle tour of tomorrowland. It was originally thought of as a serious prototype of intercity transportation and even appeared on the maps for Walt’s plans of his Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow EPCOT. The California attraction closed in 1995 for various reasons but most assumed for cost cutting measures due to high maintenance expense. The track and infrastructure still remain as an unfortunate r ..read more

Star Wars Launch Bay NEW Medallions | Hollywood Studios

With all the new pressed pennies and medallions being released so far for 2024, honestly a new set of Star Wars themed coins was not what I thought we would get. I’m not complaining as I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan, plus it gave me an opportunity to visit a section of Hollywood Studios I don’t often go to. Back in what used to be called Animation Courtyard, I’m actually not sure if that’s still the official name or not. It’s where the Little Mermaid stage show, and the Disney Junior Dance Party can be found. All the way in the back is a large marquee for the Star Wars Launch Bay. It’s easil ..read more

It’s time for me to once again talk about the fantastic Facebook Group Pressed Penny Mafia – PPM of which I am a member. All the members enjoy telling stories about their penny pressing trips, or simply helping to trade, buy or sell coins for everyone’s collections.

There are usually quite a few new released each year so you never have to wait too long for something new and definitely unique. The latest edition to Amy’s catalog of penny designs is featured in the photo abo ..read more

The newly renovated Pixar Place Hotel had it’s grand opening on Tuesday January 30th out in Aneheim California. The celebration included all your favorite Pixar friends and from the pictures I’ve seen it looks like quite the improvement over the previous version of the hotel. Now the grand opening has been covered already by news, vloggers and bloggers so as I’m sure you can assume since I’m also posting about this, there must be new coins available. And you would be absolutely correct. Let’s head on inside the STOR-E gift shop near the main lobby to take a look.

Way back in 2021 Universal Florida opened a brand new thrill ride known as the Velocicoaster. To this day it remains one of their most popular and certainly intense coasters. Even before the attraction officially opened they released a special pressed penny design to celebrate the grand opening and you can read all about that here.  However, a few years have gone by and that “Grand Opening 2021” penny design (image above) was still available which seems kind of strange. That has finally changed and the design has been updated so let’s head back into Universal’s Islands of Adventure to take a ..read more
