Are these ‘pressed’ pennies yours?

15/05/2017

Police are searching for the owners of this coin album.

Police are hoping to reunite a coin collector with a sentimental souvenir recovered in Dandenong.
They seized an album of pressed coins during a vehicle intercept on Princes Highway on Monday 1 May.
Police believe the album was stolen, but despite making a number of checks they’ve been unable to find its owners.
The album is from Universal Studios and inside are “pressed” pennies with various landmarks from across Australia and the United States.
Police have released images of the album’s exterior and are hoping someone will recognise it and be able to provide information about the owner.
Call Dandenong police station on 9767 7444 with any information.
