Does anyone know if City Hall is passing out location information for all of the 50th anniversary pressed penny machines? I only have 1 day to try and get them all!

And, if I read correctly, have all of the previous machines been "replaced"?

Are there 50th machines in DCA?

Are there 50th nickel, dime and quarter machines?

And last, does anyone know the retail price of the new 50th pressed penny books?

Sorry to ask so many ?'s, but I've got to prepare!! (30 days away!!)

Try this site for a full list of pennies:

I have never asked at City Hall, but I have read that they are not up on the info the way some of the online sites are.

I looked at one of the pressed penny books, but did not note the price. It's a new, taller layout that includes some slots for pressed quarters, though.

It's good to see you planning ahead for your 'penny event'. I did the same thing for the WDW 25th Quarters back in 1996. That was more difficult because each resort had a different coin, but there were only 13. I got 20 of each set.

I will begin the same quest and find out about where and how much the coin books are. My guess is they will be in Disneyana on Main Street, but I should know tomorrow night. (5/22)

And a big thanks to JPIVERSON and MKCBUNNY for the penny location listing. That is a HUGE help. It will quite a task, but fun as well.

They have not replaced all the machines with 50th, some originals are still there. Yes, the list shows DCA and the hotels + Downtown. But that only accounts for 6, and all the rest are in D-Land or DCA.
Good Luck !!

When I went on thursday there were two "Magical Milestones" machines out of order. one at the penny arcade at disneyland and another at the disneyland hotel. I still need to go to the world of disney and DCA also.

The presses pennies are fifty one cents each and the special anniversary books are $6.00. I am collecting them too!
