Was told only two penny machines and one token machine remain. All are located to the right of the entrance, past the checkout. I pressed only the Gator in Machine 5. I costs a dollar and the penny is supplied by the store. Beware, my first try resulted in a dirty, somewhat corroded coin that was basically worthless. Second try was better, but NOT up to what is expected. Person who fills the machine needs training. Souvenir City is a family owned tradition since 1956 and opens seven days a week. We have thousands of gifts for everyone on your list.

Machine 3: had new designs (2013) is located to the left as you enter the store. $.51 per roll. Designs are:
1) Mermaid,
2) Sand Dollar,
3) Pirate,
4) Turtle,

Machine 5: is located to the right past the checkout.. An electric pirate machine that costs $1 per roll (paper bill, no quarters, machine supplies the penny).
1) Beach chair and palm trees,
2) Shell,
3) Treasure chest,
4) Gator.

Medallion machine 2: is located to the right past the checkout.. Medallions cost $5.00 each or 4 for $15.00,
1) Footprint in the Sand,

3) Green Sea Turtle,
