321 W. Portage Ave.
Sault Ste. Marie, MI

This new machine from TPPMCo was added in May 2024 when the owners of this unnamed gift shop added a machine to their other local shop at the Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours. The machine will be kept at 321 W. Portage during the summer season, and then transferred to the company's permanent store (U.P. North Wilderness, 416 Ashmun Street, Sault Ste. Marie) during the off-season.

The store staff is very good about making change and keeps bags of $5 in quarters with free shiny zinc pennies included.

The machine takes 4 quarters plus your penny. Designs are:
1) Circle with moose in it, “Sault Ste. Marie 1668”,
2) Tower of History,
3) Freighter with “Soo Locks”,
4) U.P. map, “Upper Peninsula Michigan”,
5) Ship “SS Edmund Fitzgerald – Perished Nov 10th 1975 – Lake Superior”.

Like the coins from the boat tours location all of these have a backstamp with “Sault Ste. Marie, MI.” jnm
