502 S Spring St Springfield, IL , 62706 Phone: (217) 782-0979 Website One 4-die machine was first placed 06/28/04. You can get to the machine without paying admission to the museum.
Works Great!
The machine is located in the lobby of the museum and can be reached without touring. The designs include Jefferson's Ground Sloth, Mastodon, Trilobite, and Bison. The machine was jammed when we first arrived on 9/18/2009, but by using it very carefully we were able to press a set.
The museum has also recently redone it's main exhibit floor and it's worth the admission to go through if you have time. .
On 9/18/2009 the machine was jammed, but we were able to get it working. Use the coin sliide carefully to press pennies. |
