This cache is in a suburban neighborhood. You can park on the street. The cache is outside of the fence, you do not need to enter the yard.
Smashed, squished, rolled, pressed, elongated coins...call them what you will. This cache is a dedicated exchange for those wonderful smashed penny (or nickel, dime, quarter etc.) souvenirs. It is easy to get to, you can drive right up to it. It is also easy to find. It is meant for people to exchange pennies or other smashed coins. Please only exchange smashed coins. If you do not have a smashed coin to exchange, then please take nothing, leave nothing.

You don't know where to get pennies to trade? Log onto www.pennyatlas.com or www.pennycollector.com. Both sites list machines for all 50 states.

The new container is small, but it should accommodate a small travel bug.

 Hints

I know cachers are not real comfortable being in a suburban environment, so if you are wondering if you have the right house think of this. What directional is Seattle, WA from here? That is the same corner the house is on.

Need a hint for the actual cache?
Rockin' around the mailbox, it's the geocachers way...

Out geocaching today with 4 and 7yr old grandkids today. I was really pleased to find this cache because they’ve been collecting smashed pennies for awhile. I thought it was a totally useless pastime but now we’ve found a way to get rid of them and even trade them. They left a couple of smashed Lincolns from Dollywood. Not sure which ones they took.

We left a shiny penny for anyone who wants to smash one. Nice old dog didn't bark at us. TFTC!
