4/9/2024 BTF,
Museum has changed name to the Memphis Museum of Science and History, so I updated the name in this entry.
Machine 5 is out of order.
Machine 4 working. Cost is 51 cents per press, bring your own penny.
No cost to access machines, since they are located in the lobby, just to the right after entering.

Machine 5 is now gone; gift shop staff say it must be broken. Machine 5, with the dinosaur designs, is located next to the gift shop near the front entrance, and rolling nicely on copper.
