Pressed Penny Insanity - discussion

[Rony6ble]

Do we need any kind of receipt to document the beginning of our one year?

Lynne

PSST.....Lighthouses sometimes have these machines so pairs well with that tour as well

So do NP's

 

[Lynne]

Yes, plan on getting first one at Mammouth Cave this week. Starting my second Parks Tour.

 

[Jeff Luke]

I'd like to take my son on tour but he isn't an IBA member yet. Can he buy a flag or I buy a flag for him for this Press Penny Insanity as a starting effort of his IBA membership ?

Some slogans:
Doing the PP crank dance
Cranking out the PP
We ride for pennies

Edit: answered this myself, flags are members only, got to get the lad to do a SS first

 

[Bruce Edwards]

I'm on the road at the moment - can I use my 2016 BMR flag temporarily until I get home where I have some proper IBA rally flags? I'd like to get a few of these done in the next couple of weeks?

So, Sorry about the dumb question as I have never used one of these machines (yes, I am old fart but still have never used one)... do we supply our own pennies or is the penny part of the machine? is there usually a fee to use these machines?

 

[Jeff Luke]

You put a penny and usually a few quarters in, turn a crank and the picture on the machine is stamped into the penny. So you will need quarters, penny and arm strength.

So do NP's

I always wanted one of those colored in maps in your signature line, how did you do that?

 

[Roy Kjendal]

Thank you sir!

Can't believe some industrious individual hasn't already done a gpx file of the locations....

Some of these were downloaded from poi-factory.com, others were done via Google Maps so use with caution.

Yes, but send me a photo of it asap - [email protected] and make sure I confirm back to you that I got it.

Just when I was thinking about selling my bike. You people are mean. I will have to break out my IBA flag or get a new Penny Flag when the ice melts in MN.

 

[Lynne]

Ride your bike over to Mall of America on first good day. 7 there

 

[mkneebone]

Please remember, one penny per machine - the fun here will be trying to find machines Jim and Donna have not visited and gotten all the pennies from (and remember, they had four years to do it - so not the time pressure you are under).

 

[David Gillespie]

This looks like a great tour! I am looking froward to getting started.

There are seven machines in 7 different stores in that mall. How do you count that? They are 7 unique places but under one roof. We have same issue in Nashville at Opry Mills Mall. 3 stores in the mall each have machine. My thinking is count the mall itself as one location and limit it to one for there. But you all may have different thought pattern so thought I would ask for clarification
