5/20/25: Both machines have been tested and are working for all forms of payment. Make sure you turn the wheel a full 8-10 times for the penny to drop. It will take at least 5 turns until you feel the penny being pressed.
For quarters you supply the penny and it goes in the penny slot and drops down the clear tube on top of the press plate. You won't see the penny in the machine ones its dropped.
For credit and dollars the machine supplies the penny. Work there |
