Prepare your pennies before your vacation by dropping them into white vinegar for a few minutes then wiping with a cloth. If you do not have white vinegar at home, you can also use ketchup to clean your pennies. Use pennies made 1982 or prior for the best results. Pennies made after 1983 have zinc sandwiched between the copper coating and will leave silver streaks in the pressed penny and will not hold the shape as nicely as all copper pennies. You can make your own pressed penny coin holders with M&M minis containers or prescription medicine containers – see the bottom of this page for ideas designs.

Making Your Own Walt Disney World Pressed Penny Holder
Once you have your pressed coins checklist pocket guides printed, it is time to get the coins ready for your vacation. M&M Minis canister has the perfect size for quarters and will hold 20 sets of quarters/pennies. Alternatively, you can use small empty prescription medicine canisters, which will hold 14 sets of quarters/pennies in the canister. Although the coins will not rest as snuggly in the medication canister as it does in the M&M Minis canister, there are two advantages in using the medication canisters. You can roll up your pocket guide to fit it in the canister and still have room for the coins! Also, most prescription canister caps are designed to be used on both sides – childproof side and easy opening side. You can attach a second canister to the cap and use one for pressed penny money and the other side for pressed coins.
You can purchase the M&M Minis at supermarkets or Walmarts or save up your medication canisters. Simply peel the labels off of the tubes to customize a coin holders.
If you are collecting press pennies as memories of your vacation, you should take a few minutes to prepare your pennies. You can either dip the pennies in white vinegar and leave till they’re shiny or clean with ketchup. I prefer ketchup just because we always have it on hand, and it smells more pleasant. You’d be amazed at how beautifully pressed pennies will look with a few minutes of preparation ahead of time.
Once the pennies are cleaned, alternate two quarters and a penny in the canister so that your coins will be ready for the pressed coin machines.
You can customize labels for your canister with the label pdf’s below. Disney owns the copyright to all Disney Characters.
