While visiting New Jersey for work event I was spending one of my evenings at the American Dream Mall. This place was huge and based on my research had quite a few pressed penny machines that I was determinate to find and collect.

My next stop was at the Angry Birds “Not So” Mini Golf Club. This was an actual mini-golf course you could play, and from what I could see the holes looks really interesting.

They were themed around how the game works, and plenty of the recognizable Angry Birds were around for plenty of photographs.

Unfortunately on this trip I didn’t have time to play a round so instead I was sticking to just the gift shop.

The store wan’t too big, but had plenty of Angry Bird merchandise. So many plush toys, t-shirts, sweaters and all the classic items you would find in themed store like this.

In the back of the store near a drink cooler is where I found the penny machine. This was another of those unique acrylic cabinet machines I had encountered inside the Nickelodeon Theme Park so I wasn’t really looking forward to using it again.

I guess I shouldn’t complain about the penny machines in Florida being converted to $1 per penny. Here each design was $1.99 and it was credit / debit cards only. At least the machine supplied the penny.

Thankfully I didn’t have much issue with this machine and the pennies pressed pretty well. The one horizontal design came out a bit short but most of the design was still visible. This was a fun set with some of the familiar Angry Bird characters.

The clock was ticking on my visit to the American Dream mall with it almost about to close for the night but I still had one last place I needed to stop at for a few more pennies. Check back to see how my trip concludes. Keep on Pressing!
