When a newer penny is pressed, the zinc can show up, somewhat spoiling the pressed design.

    Also, some places have change machines where you can get change for $1-$20. There is one right next to the bank of coin machines in the Contemporary, one in Pizza Planet at the Studios. There are others, but those are the two I use most frequently. They aren't rolled, but I carry some empty film canisters or a small bag and load them up.

    I'm sure you're familiar with this website?
