500 E. Madison Springfield, IL , 62701 Union Station is across the street from the Abraham Lincoln Museum & Library. The people in the museum told us about this machine. The machine has these 4 designs: The Road to the White House - Lincoln Speaking from the Platform of the Train; Bust of Lincoln; U.S. Seal with Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library around the Seal; & Abraham Lincoln, the White House 1861-1865. All coins are 2-sided. As of 09\03\09 machice was broken and clerk did not know when it would be fixed. 11/20/09 still out of order!
The machine was working well on 8/7/2008. This is a Rockholt machine.
As of 5/18/2009, this machine is located in the lobby of the Lincoln Presidential Museum. It consistently cut off the back end of the design on all coins I rolled. There is now a special Lincoln bicentennial penny machine located in Union Station. Unfortunately, it had an out of order sign and the guides said it had been broken for a couple of months now.
