Features & Capabilities

PennyMe helps with the collection of pressed pennies. Those neat coins that you can imprint with a picture of a tourist attraction if you turn the crank of the machine. PennyMe displays all machines worldwide on a map and displays detailed information about a machine upon selection.

Tick off machines you visited to keep track of your collected pennies. Or mark a machine for a later visit. PennyMe also helps you to easily navigate to any machine. And it shows its address, a picture of the machine and other details.

Our recommendation: Turn on push notifications & never miss out again on a nearby penny!

User Reviews

Users praise PennyLocator’s interactive map, easy mobile design, and features for uploading photos and marking machines as visited to organize a collection, with strong value for travel and discovery of penny presses. Common concerns include reliability issues (crashes/freezes), incomplete coverage, limits on photo uploads, missing hours for locations, and the absence of user accounts or shared collections. Overall it’s highly useful but stability and richer data/features are needed.

Interactive map that shows penny machines near you and worldwide
Simple, elegant, and easy-to-use mobile UI

Incomplete machine coverage (not all machines appear or are searchable)

Lack of location hours/schedules information for pennies machines

Simple yet elegant app

Received a response from the developer, and realized that on apple phones low power mode will turn off off background notifications like the push notifications!! Now that I know that this is perfect!!!
