Oops..should have read all the posts on the BOARD, not just the thread, before I respond...sorry! But I will add these 2. MY one good link has the exact same PDF file, but a different URL, so just in case one of the URLs goes down, I'll have the second one.

Is there a special album that can be bought to keep pressed pennies? Or do you just buy any album?

Disney sells special albums for about $7 (might be more now) that hold 36 pressed pennies and 6 pressed quarters.
A tip for anyone doing pressed pennies anywhere....as soon as it comes out of the machine (and still has some warmth to it), STRAIGHTEN it with your fingers. It comes out a little curved and it's very difficult to keep in the album or in a display curved.
As far as what else to do to display them, I framed a few for Aly's first trip and made a cool backdrop on the computer and added my own words to it.

Well, they appear to be a little more expensive now, but seem to hold more. I found a Disney WORLD one on laughingplace for $10.75 regular price, then I found a DisneyLAND one on mouseshoppe for less money, but looks to be the same size, and with a description that it holds 52 (not 36, like mine) pennies & 6 quarters.

That makes sense. The DisneyLAND one at MouseShoppe was $8, which seems more in tune with what I was thinking before. Ours was $7, but I didn't even buy it (I had only looked at it). It was a special gift from a friend who knew that Aly & I liked the pennies. We have since had to buy ANOTHER album because we had so many non-Disney pennies, so we got a Rainforest Cafe' one that's already filled up...but we have more room in the Disney one. Not sure how many the RFC one held, but it included a RFC penny on the cover.
