🥱 We're on hiatus - the press is taking a break! 🥱

Souvenir pressed pennies from your Lawrence favorites

Why should tourist traps have all the fun? It's about time we celebrated the darlings of LFK. Plus, ALL the money goes to local nonprofits.

Huh?

This penny machine moves to a new location every month, and every quarter is donated to a charity of the store's choice.

Where is it?

We're currently on hiatus after a one-year journey around Lawrence Kansas.

Where does the $ go?

Each month the host selects a local nonprofit. See the list below of all the great organizations we've supported over our first year!

And next month?

Questions?

What's going on here?

You've got 12 months to collect 12 souvenir pennies, from a penny press machine that's migrating around to downtown local favorites in Lawrence.

Each month the press moves to a new location.

So I can collect all 12 designs?

That's right - 12 locations in Lawrence, 12 souvenir pennies. Plus a few bonus designs, maybe! You'll have to visit different locations through the year. Once we change out the design, your chance is gone!

Explain the charity thing again?

Every quarter you put into the machine is getting donated to a local nonprofit. The host store each month selects the charity!

Is it legal to deface US currency?

Are you a cop?

Who's doing this?

Local Crush is a project by Studio Kirkland.

But like seriously, why?

We wanted an excuse to buy a penny press.
