So it's time to plan the family vacation. If you're like us, you'll want to take full advantage of all of the roadside copper awaiting the weary traveller. But how does one know where to sniff out the best places for crushing your coins? Through our travels we've been able to map out some of the best towns for squishin'. We're not talking just who has the MOST pennies. Rather, we've scoured the country to find the towns with the greatest squished spirit: the towns in the U.S. with the most pennies per capita.

How does your town stack up?
