http://wcmassey.com/lep/hhg/states.htm <--- locations
http://www.squished.com/museumnew/museum_press.html <----more penny facts

I seriously can't wait to go to that museum :) Wish I had known that last time I went to D.C. I can't believe what a nut I am sometimes :)

And, about the legality, like TWG said:

Quote from: http://wcmassey.com/lep/geninfo2.htm#legal
The United States Codes under Title 18, Chapter 17, and Section 331, "prohibits the mutilation, diminution and falsification of United States coinage." However, it has been the opinion of some individual officers at the Treasury Department, though without any indication of approval, the foregoing statute does not prohibit the mutiliation of coins if done without fraudulent intent or if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently.

I know I'm going to sound like a party pooper here but isn't it supposed to be illegal to destroy US money? I seem to remember something like that. ???

there is a penny squisher in Williams AZ at the Vistor's center.  They have 4 designs.
We made 2 on our way to Grand Canyon last month.

Shit y'all do it the easy and boring way lol... Ever heard of train tracks?  If you're good... lay out about 20 pennies, dimes, whatever... and hopefully they dont vibrate off... I've done that a few times... Pretty easy way to get em flat lol...  We have trains through here daily every 20 minutes...  I live about a quarter mile from 4 sets of tracks.

;D

But ya didnt hear this illegal stuff from me LOL

Anyone collect these? I am a crazy nut for them. Last time I went to Disneyland, I got EVERY single squished penny they had!

ANyways, I'm asking because I am going to Vegas, and I know they used to have a lot there. However, all the lists I can find online are really outdated. Can anyone help me out? I need something fairly current since I am leaving next friday.

Also, I live in Orange County, CA, so if you know of any I could pick up on the trip to/from Vegas, I'd appreciate it.

Please don't flame me for being a dork. ;)

T.I.A.!
