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.

10/06/2020: Machines gone.
Butlin's Bognor is located on the Esplanade (shore road), slightly north of the town centre. It has a very distinctive tent like structure. Under which the machines are housed.
There are two new Penny Souvenir machines in place now. (2009) Both are from pressedpennyprofits.com, based in Scotland. Standard design, similar to a Pennymangle. The machinery in these do seem noisier, but the 5 design set up mean you can roll the 5 pennies continuously.
The same machines are in Butlin's Skegness, most of the designs are repeated between venues. Some of the design choices seem strange
All pennies have a dotted border and cost £1 to roll
