This machine is no longer here. The listing stays up because collectors come back years later to check whether the one they remember was real.

From collectors

April 18, 2015. I talked to the bank manager and he said that they have decided to not have any more museum showings. The machine will not be returning. MWHTH

Popular, Inc., doing business as Banco Popular in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and as Popular Community Bank in the United States, is a financial services conglomerate that has been operating in Puerto Rico for almost 120 years and in the United States for over 52 years. In recent years, it has expanded into other areas of the Caribbean and Central America. The BPPR in the logo stands for Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, where the bank has its major historical footprint.

The machine is located in the museum. Hours of operation had been Wednesday through Sunday. Parking may be found on street or in nearby parking garages.

Three designs available from an undetermined penny machine type. Each cost 50 cents (2 quarters only) on a penny you supply.

Designs all have a beaded border with 'Amigo de Valor Banco Popular':
1. (H) 'Lo que mucho vale mucho cuesta'.
2. (H) 'El vago trabaja doble'.
3. (H) 'El dinero no crece en los arboles'.
