Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies penguin&chick 2-sided souvenir elongated penny
Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a franchise, founded by Robert Ripley, which deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims. The Believe It or Not panel proved popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, comic books, a chain of museums and a book series.
When Ripley first displayed his collection to the public at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933, it was labeled Ripley’s Odditorium and attracted over two million visitors during the run of the fair. In 1950, a year after Ripley's death, the first permanent Odditorium opened in St. Augustine, Florida. As of December 2010, there are 32 Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditoriums around the world. Odditoriums, in the spirit of Believe It or Not!, are often more than simple museums cluttered with curiosities. Some include theaters and arcades, such as the ones in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Others are constructed oddly, such as the Orlando, Florida Odditorium which is built off-level as if the building is sinking.
Coin is copper (Cu) by weight - 2.9 to 3.2 grams.

These elongates are from my various personal collections - metal content is determined by weight.
Elongated coins, most commonly pennies, are also known as "pressed", "rolled", "stretched", "flattened", "pinched", "smashed", and "squished", and are generally souvenirs from various tourist locations, facilities, or events.
I use my own photos to show the actual patina, which will vary from coin to coin - what you receive should be accurately represented by what is in the photos.
