11/18/24 Update: There is now a Token machine in front of the funicular, and the 4 penny machine is now across the roundabout.
I stumbled upon the penny machine taking the path up to the castle; the traditional listed path next to the funicular is closed for construction.
For the penny press, turn down Hunyadi Janos Ut and take the steps up; it will be on your left once you turn towards the stairs.
