New Penny Press at the Archie McPhee Store
March 10, 2017
Some call it a penny press or a penny pincher, but whatever you call it the Archie McPhee store in the Wallingford of Seattle has one! You put your penny in, turn the crank and it stretches it and imprints it with one of four designs. Any of which will make a perfect souvenir. The official name for these is elongated coins.
We chose our four designs carefully. As you can see above, you can get Bibo, a classic Rubber Chicken, the Wallingford Beast and a Finger Monster.
Here are two videos demonstrating how it works. The first is condensed for the impatient and the second goes through the whole process as it happens.
