There is one four-design hand crank penny machine now at the Chinatown Kite Shop. The machine is on the sidewalk in front of the store.
The store opens at about 10 AM.

Parking is hard to find a lot of the time.

Machine 1 cost per roll is 51 cents and you use your own penny. Designs are:
1) Cable Car,
2) Golden Gate Bridge,
3) Maneki-Neko (Beckoning Cat),
4) Long thin Dragon

Moved 2: Moved to Fisherman's Wharf - Pier 45 - Musee Mecanique Museum. Designs were:
1) 'Old Ships at Hyde Street Pier San Francisco', Sailing ship,
2) 'I Left My (Image of a Heart) in San Francisco',
3) Cable Car with buildings around,
4) Pagoda over Golden Gate Bridge.

6/04/2026 Machine 2 has been moved to Musee Mecanique at Pier 45 in Fisherman's Wharf.
Machine 1 is still in front of the store in Chinatown. I had no issue rolling any of the designs unlike the last entry. All rolled well on copper pennies. BTF.

Machine 1 - 2016




Moved 2 - from Chinatown - Bargain Bazaar
