Smashed a Penny Lately?

I was rolling the change from the kids' piggy banks a few weeks ago so that we could take their money and deposit it in their savings accounts when I ran across something I hadn't seen in a while. One of those squished pennies that you get out of one a penny press machine. You know the one I'm talking about where you put in 50¢ and a penny then you turn the hand crank on the
penny machine and out comes a smashed penny with an image on it. Those were always so fun to me when I was a kid. My kids both enjoyed it. They each had a couple in their banks. One was from the zoo in Memphis and the other was from an Indian Smoke Shop in Oklahoma. Oh, and about all that changed I rolled up...well the bank no longer accepts rolled coins. They have a handy dandy machine that counts it all out for you! Oh yeah, I had to UNROLL all of it. *Sigh* I wanted to run that teller's head through one of those penny presses!
