Comments:	As in Ohio, it appears most - and maybe all - the Illinois "oasis" rest areas along the turnpikes have penny press machines. In Illinois, these travel plazas are in the center and above the freeway, so a single Oasis is accessible when traveling from either direction. The plaza will include several fast-food restaurants, restrooms, and travel information, as well as a separate gas station. The penny press machines are located in the main area of the plazas near the restaurants and are easy to spot. <p> The dies are usually state themes such as important figures (Lincoln, for example), state birds or trees, and sometimes a local landmark or attraction. At the O'Hare Oasis, the dies are Abraham Lincoln; the state fair; the Sears Tower in nearby Chicago; and the state flower. The machine was working great as of August 28, 2008.<p> This plaza is on the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) at Mile Marker 38 in the O'Hare Airport area. The machine is near the south bound entrance. (To avoid the toll, use the service road at Enterprise Rent a Car.) jnm<br><br> 2/1/2010 - Stopped to use the maching and it was gone.
	Please be specific regarding the machine location. Is it upstairs? Downstairs? By the entrance? etc...
