Alrana Eris Posted October 21, 2012 #26 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I am an avid penny collector there are no machines on the Oasis, I'd be all over it, nothing in Nassau, St Thomas or St. Maarten. Not sure on western sailing though. I did my research on penny collector dot com. If there is a squishing penny machine I usually find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotsie Posted October 21, 2012 #27 Share Posted October 21, 2012 No penny machines on Oasis or Allure but you were able to flatten a coin with a sledge hammer on the inaugural cruise. This picture was taken on the Boardwalk from the Oasis inaugural cruise. Dotsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted October 21, 2012 #28 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) We call them Pressed Pennies. The only place I have ever seen a machine for pressing pennies and imprinted a mark on them was at a gift shop in Galveston. EDITED I just found this site of you. I hope it helps http://www.pennycollector.com/AreaList.aspx Edited October 21, 2012 by lady_cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedels Posted December 16, 2019 #29 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I know this is a super old thread, but.... Just got off of Oasis yesterday and there IS a pressed penny machine on the boardwalk. Sadly we only discovered it on the last day and our seapass account was already closed out so couldn't use it. Kids were really bummed out we missed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtulipe Posted December 16, 2019 #31 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I recall there being a free penny pressing into token machine when we were last on Anthem in April of last year. It was in the entrance area of the American Icon restaurant. All one had to do was to provide the pennies and sometimes there was a box with free pennies on top.

Rare death_star Posted December 16, 2019 #32 Share Posted December 16, 2019 There is one on the boardwalk, we didn't try to use it so no idea what it costs or if it worked. It was definitely there just over a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearlake_cruiser Posted December 16, 2019 #33 Share Posted December 16, 2019 There is a free souvenir penny press machine on Ovation of the Seas, inside the entrance to American Icon restaurant. We were onboard in September and October 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skipped it because I wasn't sure if you had to provide your own penny or what the deal was with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see the machine, it makes me smile. Edited December 16, 2019 by notmyrealnameoremail clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'm sure it would be on the Boardwalk. They definitely had one of those "Tell Your Fortune" machines. That bugger Zoltan took my dollar and never gave me a fortune! Damn you Zoltan, damn you!

Just off Anthem this am - so am happy to conform that its STILL there as of Jan. 2020. Plenty of pennies available to use in case you don't have your own. The pressed image didn't line up as nicely as we'd have liked (at least on the "Seaplex" bumper cars image), but for a free press, can't complain. We also spied a machine on shore in St. Lucia - there was a guy in the port with a machine but he was closed by the time we went over to try and use it. I think he was charging $2 for a pressing.

TwinMamainMN Posted January 28, 2020 #40 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I never knew there was a website with them listed! What fun! We have many pressed pennies collected from our travels once we had kids because it was a cheap souvenir. Now we are kind of obsessed. I looked at the list for Hawaii (our next cruise) and saw many places listed. Now I know to pack quarters and shiny pennies so we can add to our collection. Thanks for asking OP, and thanks for all the info everyone else. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
