This is ridiculously genius! Already called a friend from the bank to set a bag of pennies and quarters apart to pick up Monday morning.

Jim and Donna (from the IBA office in Chicago) have been working on it for years - I could not believe all those machines are still out there, so they went and rode to hundreds of them since 2011 and learning all about them (like the mentioned 25 pennies in one location that we won't count as it is about the travel to different sites not standing there crushing pennies all afternoon to get the penny count up. So four fun years for them :)

IBA flags are available on the store (which of course is down right now). Right now the limit is one year - I will clarrify that, it might have gotten moved in editing.

If you do buy an IBA flag for this ride and we make special Penny flags as some point, we will trade them out.

Does the S.S. badger count for two states if I buy a penny while docked in Michigan then one in Wisconsin and do I need to take a pic of the machine twice?

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

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