Up for grabs - ETR Stamped Pennies - UPDATE 7/19/05 - Collecting Tiki

I was picking up a Pele mug (I also wanted to pick up the 3-faced Tiki mug, but the Wahine balked at me getting both the $22.00 Pele mug and the $14.00 Tri-Tiki mug), and noticed a block of penny-squishing machines. The machines are located in a waist-high, stucco block that has squishing machines on three of the four sides of the block. If you walk up to the block from the entrance, the Tiki Room design is on the left side, middle button. The design does not actually say 'Enchanted Tiki Room', but has a macaw, the three-faced tiki, a hibiscus flower, and the words 'Magical Milestones, 1963'. BTW, if you do want to get the ETR squished pennies, bring along pre-1982 pennies. Pre-1982 pennies are all copper, and 1982 and after are zinc with a copper coating. When the zinc pennies are squished, they look crappy... silver with splotches of copper.
