The electric Machine 1 is MISSING!!
1) one penny that says EXPLOREUM on it.
Retired 2: i1) "Exploreum" (same as machine 1) 2) IMAX, 3) Hands On, 4) Body Works.
5/1/19- Machine #2 is gone.
5/4/2024: The lady at the front desk hadn't noticed that Machine 1 was missing from its usual lobby location, so she didn't know if it was temporarily or permanently removed. I'm gonna call this "Out of Order" until it can be confirmed retired.
They had some pre-pressed coins available to hand out (zincs, and pretty dirty). BTF
