I just changed jobs, so this is the first time I have President’s Day off.
Here are the remaining coins we pressed from CA during our visit in January:
New EC’s from Golden Gate Bridge Gift Shop San Francisco, CA
New EC’s from Cell Block 41 Gift Shop San Francisco, CA
New EC’s from National Steinbeck Center Salinas, CA
There are so many machines in San Francisco, especially around the Fisherman’s Wharf area. It seemed like there was one in every other store, some of the designs were indistinguishable. We didn’t press every one since I ran out of pennies after a while.
New EC’s from After the Quake San Francisco, CA
New EC’s from Alcatraz Mini Market San Francisco, CA
New EC’s from A to Z Cameras San Francisco, CA
We had a family gathering around Chinese New Year and spent a week visiting different places around the Bay Area. Here are some of the coins pressed during that time.
We walked around Golden Gate Park and visited the Japanese Tea Garden. This is the second time I visited. I really like the garden, but the entrance fee is high and so was the tea served inside.

The whole family also went to hike in Muir Woods. The main loop in Muir woods is paved (or boardwalk), the side trails are also worth walking since they take you to see different views of the forest.
The 4-die machine is at the gift shop. There are pre-pressed anniversary coins available for purchase. These anniversary coins are free if you purchase a penny book.
New EC’s from Muir Woods Mill Valley, CA
Paul sent me the remaining set of coins from our last trade. I almost completely forgot about it after the holidays. He was kind enough to help me with the descriptions, which I usually get wrong if left to my own imagination. Thanks!!
New EC’s from the Museum of Life & Science Durham, NC
