From collectors

Ft. Hays is a movie set for "Dances with Wolves" movie offering Chuckwagon meals and Mt. Rushmore area tours. The set is open seasonally.

Two pennies are offered during the season that are made on converted antique equipment. The penny must be grasped by pliers and fed through rollers just right to press.
Penny costs $1.00 to make. Machine is usually manned between the hours of 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM or around when the tour busses show up. You can always ask at the gift shop if you want to press a lot of pennies.

Designs are;
1) 'Mount Rushmore', heads,
2) 'Ft Hays SD, Dances with Wolves', Buffalo.

8/18/18: I was able to have both the Mt Rushmore and Buffalo pennies rolled with my copper pennies. Still $1 each. There was a pie pan next to the press to set your payment in. JLT
