<p>[QUOTE="Yokozuna, post: 974040, member: 26087"]Disney World has these things everywhere. Each year they change the design. My wife and I did a full set for the year 2000. I bought a roll of silver quarters from a local coin shop and went for it. We did one "test" to see what they looked like and you can read the dates on all of the coins we used. We even had one we tried that didn't catch the coin until it was 3/4 done, so we have an ERROR Disney Elongated 2000 silver Quarter. That has to be worth thousands... right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I checked and dealers in elongated coins use silver all the time for these things. The complete set for 2000 cost us $20 for the roll of quarters (silver was 4.15 an ounce) and each coin pressed was $1 (I think) so the full set cost less than $40 to do and we had fun searching for the presses. Disney has maps of where they place them and it took us about 4 hours to find them all. The 2000 set in silver sells for $250 to $300, so we could sell them if we wanted. </p><p> </p><p>Amy and I met on AOL back in '94.
