Elongated coins are coins that have been elongated (flattened or stretched) and embossed with a new design with the purpose of creating a commemorative or souvenir token. Such coins are usually created in a penny-smashing machine of the sort found at landmarks, museums, aquariums, souvenir shops, special events, and more.
