Hello everybody,

you know, that Dot-Hunting is one thing for EBTs. I´m connecting it with collecting ELONGATED COINS.

Penny-Smashers look like this:



Elongated coins look like this:



I would like to know, where those Penny-Smashing-Machines are. That would be great
Please let me know, where I can find those machines, and if possible make a photo of the machine.


And if you are collecting those coins too , we can exchange

I have one from a 5 cent piece on our vacation in Normandie with a picture of "Le clocher Sainte-Catherine" in Honfleur. The machine stood in the local librairy at Rue Montpensier.

Thank you for your help!

Has anybody any new informations or has anybody some coins left?

Please let me know!

The Linnanmäki amusement park in Helsinki has one of those machines and I think the TV tower in Berlin has one as well, to name a few.

According to the waymarking site there are two penny smashers in Germany. Have a look

I know there's one at the TV tower and one at checkpoint Charlie.
In Brussels there is one near "manneken pis"

There has been one many many years ago in Munich, at the stairway of St. Peter's Church.

I don't know if that machine is still there, I haven't looked at it when we had this EBT-meeting

The machines in Berlin and Munich are still there - thank you very much!

Do you have further informations on Helsinki? Photos ore some coins left? That would be fantastic! Please let me know!

Ask me again in summer, when the amusement park is open, and I'll go check it. There is no entrance fee to the park, you only pay for the actual rides.
It was years ago that I was there the previous time, but I remember where it stood back then.

Regarding Slovenia I've heard those machines are in Kranjska Gora, Piran (aquarium) and Volčji Potok (arboretum) and probably at much more places.

I will definitely remind you - thank you very much!

Any new coins or places? =)

I was looking for such machines during the Summer EBT meeting in Barcelona, but could not find any.

I saw a similar machine two years ago in Hamburg, in the top of St. Michaelis Church.
Two kinds of coins can be chosen, a Michel view or a Bismarck-Denkmal.

In a German forum there is a looong thread about such elongated coin machines. Started in 2007, so it may make sense to begin at the end, where the most recent posts are. http://www.emuenzen.de/forum/allgemeine ... tehen.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
