Is there a book to hold the pennies once they are pressed? Or what do you do w/ the pennies when you return home?

Thanks!

Yes there is. My DD has quite a collection so far! The book is blue with mickey and the gang on the front. It was about the same cost as an autograph book if I remember correctly. Any gift store in Disney should have one.

We leave in 2 days and already have quarters and pennies ready!LOL

My kids LOVE the pressed pennies. In our case, it's bookS to hold them. There are so many penny machines, it's mind-boggling. If you get them from everywhere, they'll never fit in one book.

I think it would be pretty neat to display the pennies in a shadow box frame. That is what we've done with our Disney pins when we're not visiting WDW. I have a shadow box frame with a felt-covered block of styrofoam in the back. We poke the pins in there and hang the frame on the wall. You could attach the pennies with poster-tack to the back of a frame, I'd think.
