We have always brought our own pennies. The machines do not dispense pennies. We like to collect new pennies prior to going. Shiny ones work better. The pressed pennies are $0.50. The pressed quarters are more, like $1-2. The parks have them, but don’t forget that most or all of the resorts have them as well. It’s fun to get them from where you stay!
We have a tube of pre-1982 pennies that we like to bring with us to us so that they have the higher copper content. The quarters and blank disks are okay to press in a pinch, but those pennies are our favorites!Thanks! I was worried that it was going to cost more than I expected! The Easter Bunny left eggs this year with fifty one cents in each so my son could press the pennies on our trip- wanted to be sure I didn't need to bring more quarters!!Sorry, I quoted the wrong price! The quarter machines cost the dollar (plus the quarter for squishing!)! Our favorites are the machines that actually press a penny, though.
We always bring pennies. But there are a few machines that you don't need them. They have options to use a credit card and purchase 1 or the whole set (6-7?) I can't recall. Ones I remember were outside FEA, in a shop in Tommorrowland and HTH lobby possibly. There are more scattered around I just can't remember them. These are the $1 per coin or the whole set for $5. But at least you have the option incase you don't have change.
