Niagara Falls penny press (elongated penny)

Quite a few years ago I posted about finding a penny souvenir. I’ve seen lots of these Penny Press/Elongated Coin machines when visiting Florida, but I don’t see too many of them around here. Add to that the fact that Canada no longer uses pennies, and these machines just aren’t that popular around here any more. When I have seen them, they have copper blanks that look like pennies that are used for the souvenirs.

Anyway, I don’t know where this coin came from (most likely Canada), but it is clear that it was an American penny.
