They have those machines that for a price (usually 50 cents) roll a penny flat with a die and stamp some design on it. You can usually find the machines in places that attract travellers or tourists. I never used to notice them before, but since I started collecting them, I have developed a "penny-smasher radar" that's akin to my "tiki radar". We travel around alot, being in the military, and I found that these made for a cheap momento from all the places my wife and I had lived in or visited.
