that part should just pop out. Once you get it out you should be able to get the penny out easy. Just see if you can pull the lighter part out. It will just snap back in when you are done.

one time a while back my cd player stopped working. i had no idea what was wrong but didn't have time to get it fixed right away so just put off getting it fixed. my dad took it to get some work done and they found that a fuse had blown because of the same thing. not sure how you can get it out though, sorry...

I thought they made the magnet on a stick already, isn't it like a car antenae(sp?)???

Yes I used to play with them when I was like 12, so about 15 years ago.

It wouldn't work on the vast majority of U.S. pennies currently in circulation as they are non-magnetic.

Although I imagine a piece of gum on a straw would do the trick.
