We always carry nice shiny pennies to use in penny presses when we travel to Disney World and other attractions to make souvenirs. You insert a penny and 2 quarters and the press elongates the coin into an oval and a die presses an image onto the metal.
I must admit, though, that my main use for pennies is saving them in a bank on my dresser and periodically taking them over to Commerce Bank to have them counted and converted into paper money.
