Enlongated Pennies

Enlongated Pennies are cheap souvenirs that you can get at themed parks,touristic places,and more in an enlongated penny machine with a handle.
If you wanna make an enlongated penny in a penny machine you found put a quarter dollar and another coin of a quarter dollar and one penny (if you have pre-1982 put those).
Post images of your enlongated pennies.

Pre-1982 Penny
Pre-1982 are normal pennies with %96 copper and %4 zinc,in 1982 the value of copper was rising so the U.S mint had to make pennies %0.8 copper and %99.2 zinc.So those coins are better to use.

Retired Coins
Retired coins are enlongated coins no longer available (in machines)

I don't have a camera handy, at the moment. I have a couple of pennies sitting around from the zoo. I remember BEGGING my parents to let me get them when I was younger.  tongue

My ten-year-old cousin is OBSESSED with these.  He has over two-hundred unique ones.  Sadly, I don't have a picture, or I would post it.
