Smashed pennies
A friend of mine has a grandson who collects elongated pennies, you know the ones you get at tourist attractions. They mentioned this web site: Pennycollecter.com. It was fun to look in my area for the locations of the machines.
If I can manage it, I plan on getting a couple to send to him.(not asking pennies, just sharing for someone in your life).

I don't know how I got started with them, but I have over 100.. They are all over. Just came back from Disneyland with a bunch. I was in the throughway driving down from upstate Ny, and in a corner was a nice little machine.

ah . . childhood was so much simpler. I am 60 yrs old and I remember my brothers, friends and I used to go up in the rail tower and the switch man used to let us pull the lever to change the tracks for coming trains. yes, we made crushed pennies, swam in ponds with fish and the creek had cows wandering thru. We learned to play spin the bottle in the field by the tracks and played "Army" in that field. All in the same week sometimes. LOL and we did it all with no cell ph, ipod or computers
