3/05/26: Asked the guy in the gift shop if there was only one penny machine and he said yes. There were two medallion machines. The one at the entrance was out of order. The penny machine misprinted 6/8 but they had some to replace in the gift shop. This machine does take cards. (This is my first time reporting. I'm not sure what to do with the machine details.)
