This penny smasher offers three different imprints; each celebrating Lakeside Amusement Park. Each 'smash' costs two 25 cents and one penny (to be smashed). I used pennies minted before 1982, since they are still mainly copper. Pennies minted after 1982 are copper-coated zinc. I spent the $1.50 to get all three different imprints and tried to photograph them (actually, I spent $2 to get an extra for my father!).
