Please do not eliminate any scan from any site. Lots of us want the retired scans here for future research!!!

The National Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Center is comprised of the National Theater and Concert Hall, Taiwan's primary performing arts venues located adjacent to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in central Taipei. It is easily accessible from the Taipei Metro's Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall Station.

The machine is located under the verandah of the National Theater, in the row of vending machines by the retail area entrance facing the National Concert Hall. This retail area can be entered through the openings on either side of the set of stairs facing the National Concert Hall. No admission is required.

The hand-crank machine requires 30 NTD (about 1 USD) in the form of three 10 NTD coins to press a provided copper token. While the first two designs roll beautifully, the third design seems to roll a bit short.
