During my recent visit to Universal Studios, I was excited to hunt for pressed pennies, a fun and affordable souvenir hobby. While Epic Universe currently lacks any penny pressing machines, CityWalk offers several interesting options that kept my collection growing. The process is quite user-friendly—once you insert your bill or use a credit card, the machine takes about 2-3 seconds to activate. You then slide your card clockwise and turn the handle to receive your custom pressed coins. Each machine dispenses four coins per cycle, making it easy to collect a variety of designs in one go. If you're new to pressed penny collecting, I recommend bringing small bills or a credit card for convenience. Keep an eye out for machine instructions posted nearby to ensure you understand the steps—some require specific turns of the handle or card slides. I also noticed that CityWalk features unique penny designs that aren't available elsewhere in Universal Studios, making it a worthwhile pit stop for collectors. Though it’s a bit of a bummer there aren’t yet any machines in Epic Universe, the CityWalk experience more than made up for it. For fellow enthusiasts, consider timing your visit to coincide with new design releases or special event themes, as pressed pennies can be seasonal or limited edition. Overall, pressing pennies provides a charming, tangible memento of your theme park adventure that’s easy to share with friends and family.
