Be sure that you always keep a stash of quarters and shiny pennies on you when you’re traveling. Not only will they come in handy for toll charges and parking meters, but they’re great for the smashed (elongated) penny machines that can be found at many attractions. The smashed pennies are a really inexpensive souvenir and they are so fun to collect!

When I'm not spending time with my family, I'm planning my next road trip. Whether that would be taking a day trip here in Ohio or van camping trip across the country with my husband.
Here at TravelInspiredLiving.com, my goal is to provide travel inspiration for the budget-minded because I believe travel doesn’t need to be difficult, expensive, or take you across the globe to be memorable

I have to admit that it's not my children, but myself that is hopelessly addicted to the smashed pennies! I have to hunt down the machines everywhere and get one of every style. I'm so bad! :)

My son loves collecting smashed pennies! He gets one from every place we visit that has a machine. What an expensive way to keep memories, not to mention they don't take up a lot of space.
