7/15/22 - All three machines rolling short on copper pennies, but I had no problems lining up the designs. As mentioned above, have a hold on them as they do move. The very helpful shopkeeper at Kristonio's changed out a $20 bill for me in quarters! She said she buys them off the person who maintains the machines. Other shop clerks on Cannery Row only gave me a few dollars in quarters, or simply refused citing a nationwide coin shortage. MO
4/28/23 - I happened to stumble across this from a Youtube video (did not see in person), and I also realized that Google Street View has ok pictures of the machines outside of the stores. Feel free to crop the machines (to add as photos) from these links:
