Pressed Penny Money

I told you I've been getting my craft on in preparation for this trip!  Last time we went we knew about the pressed penny machines and the kids had fun making pennies when we waited in line.  But we carried our money around in ziploc baggies.  I saw somewhere online (probably pinterest) that mini m&m's containers were just the right size.  Each penny costs 50 cents, so you stack quarter, quarter, penny, over and over again until you fill the holder.  Then you have your pennies and quarters all in one place and ready to go.  I think it will be a fun thing, especially for the younger kids who are obsessed with coins these days.  I found some free printables for the labels and then covered them in clear contact paper.  Hopefully we will remember to get rolls or quarters and pennies from the bank this week!
