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

Dinosaur Journey is a regional paleontological and geological museum that tells the story of the history of life in western Colorado and surrounding areas with real fossils, cast skeletons, and robotic reconstructions of dinosaurs. The hands-on, interactive museum includes over 15,000 fossil specimens in its collections, exhibits and displays featuring discoveries from the region, a viewable paleontology laboratory where dinosaur bones are prepared for display, an earthquake simulator, a dinosaur library reading, a sandbox for making your own dinosaur tracks, and a “quarry site” where kids can uncover actual Jurassic dinosaur bones.

The machine is to your left as you walk in the museum's front entrance.

Designs costs $1 each. Designs are:
1) Parasaurolophus dinosaur coming out of an egg,
2) T-Rex,
3) Stegosaurus,
4) Ankylosaurus.

05/11/23: Machine is still gone. The clerk said that it wasn't pressing well - that only half of the impression was on a coin. She said that the manager is supposedly trying to get it fixed. The clerk didn't know if the manager had actually contacted anyone yet - said something like 'she's trying to find someone to fix it'.
