7/25/26 This machine is very picky about which coins you put in it. The owner said it did not like newer copper plated zinc pennies and it really didn't like my pre-82 copper ones either. He had to disassemble it 4 times to retrieve my penny, it did not catch. I had the best luck with the reverse of the penny facing away from the quarters and with pennies with distinct ridges or reedings. The owner said he is going to contact the manufacturer to find out what's wrong with it. If he is there he will help you with your pennies and retrieve them if they do not go thru.
7/27/26 They do have Penny Passports for sale and they have an ATM in the coin vault. |
