From natural wonders and outdoor adventure to world class sporting facilities and culture, every mile of this destination surprises, delights, and welcomes you. Internationally renowned among equestrians, cyclists, geologists, and even the world of classic cinematography, Ocala/Marion County still feels like a hidden gem to those who aren’t already insiders. And yet, when you’re here, you’re never an outsider.
This machine is moved out of the building and onto the street for a yearly Ocala/Marion County festival. There is a decent amount of parking on the back of the building that you can use when you're stopping in to use the machine. The entrance is located on the side of the building, and is clearly marked with signs. All have 'Marion County Florida (or FL)' on them. Requires just a penny, no quarters to use. The machine is located just inside the building on the left as you enter. Designs are:
1) Person kayaking,
2) 'In God We Trust' with round logo,
3) Glass bottom boat,
4) Horse and rider jumping.
Retired from Machine 1: 1) Ocala National Forest.
7/17/25: Visited today, the employees were extremely friendly. They immediately came up to inform me that the arrows are not lined up properly with the die, so you will have to put some pennies in when the arrow is about halfway in the middle of the design. It took some trial and error, but I was eventually able to get all of the pennies. The machine only requires 1 penny to use, and they had extra pennies available on the machine for free!
3/18/26 Successful mail off. I called and was told there machine was completely free. I mailed a note and a self addressed stamped envelope and about 10 days later recieved all 4 pennies. 4 Images below.
