The story behind PennyPresses
PennyPresses started as a passion project by a casual pressed penny collector who wanted a better way to find penny press machines while traveling across the United States.
What began as a simple list of machine locations has grown into one of the largest pressed penny communities in the world — with over 6,400 collectors, over 3,800 verified machines, and thousands of unique penny designs cataloged.
Our mission is simple: help collectors find machines, track their pennies, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Whether you're pressing your first penny at Disney World or hunting rare designs across national parks, PennyPresses is your companion.
We're a small, dedicated team that believes every pressed penny tells a story. Join us and start telling yours.
