Penny for your Thoughts....

Alright, so lets mention my NEW collection.... i would say hobby but by definition of the word "hobby" thats more of an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation. Um so collecting pennies... i dont see the pleasure or relaxation in that... so lets stick with collection and the act of "collecting". tsk tsk tsk.....
Ok so you guys ever see those machines....the ones where you have to put two quarters in and a penny?? Then you can choose your design - which by the way you have to do FIRST before inserting the money... i seen so many people screw that part up. lol. Oh that's just one catch. The other catch, it works best if you have a SHINY penny and not that one u picked up in the parking lot which was sitting in oil (probably from my car) and you were soo happy to pick it up just cuz it was HEADS up (thats the lucky side right?). yah whatever.
Anyways, i've always have played with these machines and so i have a couple of these pennies from different places. I'd come back home from my trip and then just put it in my travel collection which is in reference to my shot glasses.
The cool part - I was in San Francisco and just finished chillin on the Golden Gate Bridge when i walked into the Gift Shop and low and behold... a "Squished Penny Pocketbook"!!! Coooooool!!! hahhahahhahaha yup yups so i bought it. Here are some of the pennies I have:



Dude, u only have four pennies???? <---- um no. Remember i found this in San Francisco which means the trips like London, Hawaii and Singappore, etc, etc... those pennies are in my storage in a box which is under another box, which is under another box... which i'm not going to go dig out. So the four you get to see are actually not too impressive. One is from Las Vegas, one from San Francisco, one from San Antonio and the last from right here in Houston at the Museum of Natural Science. yay! u likes? so yups i'm on the lookout now for these machines. if you pplan on visiting anywhere i have been already where i missed the machine... let me borrow 51 cents and get me one... i'll pay u back! lolz....
