How many pressed pennies does it take to fill one of the collectors case? Our kids love collecting things and this might be a nice think for them to do between them.

I think 65 ( I have to count them ) . It’s nice to get them from each park , a year one , the resorts , your favourite rides , you can get a roll of pennies normally from the cash register near the machines if on the parks as well . Quarters we just put on one side every time we got one .
Some of the $5 sets are quite nice but it does take the entertainment value away but nice if you collect them .
Sea world do a case as well as does universal .
We all still enjoy collecting them .
Our kids have also done the collecting all the different dollars ( I think there are 12 or 13 )
And state quarters and nice to collect if they like that sort of thing .

Pin trading is good but can be costly due to the amount of fakes now in circulation thanks to eBay . A Cm will never refuse to take a fake which is why there are so many on the boards and at around $10 a pin it’s expensive . I highly recommend you watch YouTube on how to try and spot the fakes. Character warehouse is good to start and it doesn’t matter of it’s all the same pin to start as you will slowly trade to change them all.

Thanks for this. We are going to avoid pins. As you say so many fakes about and with 3 kids will get very expensive very quickly. My mum usually gives them a bit of spending money and after being quite a few times now they have all the plush toys they want so would be nice for them to fill a case between them. Something to remember the trip by (along with the autograph book between them).

We have the same case. Bought it in the airport as they had a machine which pressed a stitch penny which is my sons favourite character.
