Georgia Visitor Information Center #4 – Tallapoosa
Tallapoosa, GA
From collectors
There are 12 Visitor Information Centers in Georgia that inform and refresh visitors to Georgia. Pick up travel brochures, travel tips and find friendly trip-planning assistance when you stop by. There is staff on hand during business hours to help with questions about what to see and do in Georgia. Take eastbound mile marker 1 exit (look for the blue sign) off of I-20 at the border with Alabama. You cannot reach the Visitor Information Center on westbound I-20.
The penny machine is located in the welcome center. The restrooms are open 24 hours but the area where the machine is located may only be open 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Plenty of free parking.
Designs all have a dotted border, have 'RR' at the catch notch and cost 50 cents (two quarters only) each on a penny that you supply:
1. (H) A peach and a musical score with 'Georgia On My Mind'.
2. (V) A peach and an outline of the State of Georgia with 'Georgia'.
3. (V) A sea turtle in front of a lighthouse with 'Georgia Coast'.
4. (V) A smiling peanut running with 'Nuts About Georgia',

2/12/20 works great! 50 cent machine. GS
7/24/26 still rolling good on pre82 pennies. AT
10/14/26 - Rolling well on clean copper. Be careful when pushing the coins in, it is possible to make the coins jump out of the carrier. I lost 50 cents because the penny jumped out. KJU TEC# 5201
