11/2/2025 - Penny machine #2 had an "out of order" sign on it. Costs $1 per design (machine provides penny). Only takes dollar bills or credit card. If you pay by credit card, will be charged for all 4 designs.
Token Machine #2 appeared to be working. Cost $5 per token or 3 for $15.
Both machines are located in the common area outside the gift shops.
Pewter tokens are located inside the gift shop (one without the sweets/candy for sale) and cost $2 each. They were out of stock of the fife and drum coin, so the cashier checked their inventory system and called another to store to see if they had any in stock ?? Great service!
