On a recent visit to the Wizarding World, we happened to notice a new pressed penny machine!

The machine is similar to some of the newer ones we’ve spotted in Disney World, where the old-fashion crank has been replaced by a touch screen!

If you aren’t into collecting all eight, you can purchase one penny individually for $1. While we definitely experienced a bit of sticker shock, keep in mind that these are also the rates you’ll find in Disney World! Who knew a pressed penny was so valuable these days?

  1. Wish they had these two years ago on our last visit.
