The machine is across from the gift shop. Unlike most gift shops, this one is not located near the building entrance, but is in the far reaches of the museum. Admission is now free and the staff is very friendly.

Machine 2 designs are
1) The Museum's new Logo (since 2007), an old street lamp
2) "The Glancy Trains," a Lionel train display and working layout at the Museum
3) a Beaver dressed in French explorer costume, honoring Detroit's French roots
4) "Bank One Plaza," which is the outdoor plaza area in front of the Museum. (Bank One has become part of the Chase bank system, but the plaza is still marked as "Bank One Plaza)."

Retired 1: 1) The Museum's Old Logo (Before 2007), oval 2) The Glancy Trains, 3) A Beaver dressed in French explorer costume, 4) Bank One Plaza,

7/14/22 Machine is still in same place but no penny wanted to come out after cranking it for a few minutes. Had to have the front desk call someone to open the machine up and get the penny out. They are very happy to do this for you if the issue occurs. AP
