Want a fun souvenir that will not break the bank? Consider collecting pressed pennies. They cost less than a dollar and are fun to collect. You often find them at zoos, amusement parks like Disneyland, national parks and other tourist attractions.
My daughter loves collecting them. She keeps her eyes peeled for the pressed penny machines whenever we are traveling. She carefully considers the options available to her and enjoys cranking that handle to turn an ordinary penny into a shiny, collectible art piece.
