Post by: ringwraith10 on August 02, 2017, 12:22:48 PM: I collect them. :) It's surprising there aren't other people around here who collect them! I have three full books of pressed pennies. What are the pennies you have?

If so I remember having one when I was a kid for the local zoo but I've long since thrown it out I think. I don't really collect them I just had the one. It was something I thought was neat when I was a kid but lost interest.

^ Yep, this sums up my thoughts on them. :) They aren't something I actively seek out, but I don't mind picking up cool ones when I find them. They bring back memories.
