By penny souvenir, I mean the coins (sometimes just metal slugs) which you put through a machine and it leaves an imprint of something on the metal. This led me on a bit of search for where these machines are located. Unfortunately, the Squished Peny Museum is now &#8220;closed&#8221;, but the Penny Collector still has a list ing of local machines. According to the site, there are currently 17 of these machines in Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I found another of the pennies on the ground. If you look at the under side of the coin, you can tell that it really was an American penny.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9164\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/2010\/10\/26\/penny-souvenirs-part-2\/niagara_falls_coin\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg?fit=1168%2C1336\" data-orig-size=\"1168,1336\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"niagara_falls_coin\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg?fit=640%2C732\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9164\" style=\"border: black 1px solid;\" title=\"niagara_falls_coin\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg?resize=393%2C450\" alt=\"\" width=\"393\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg?resize=393%2C450 393w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg?resize=895%2C1024 895w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/niagara_falls_coin.jpg?w=1168 1168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago I posted about a penny souvenir I found on the ground.
