Emaar Blvd Dubai, United Arab Emirates Phone: 04 888 8124 Website Sitting on the 124th floor observatory is the worlds highest penny press and the first GEM penny press in the middle east.
You will need to pay 125AED to get up to the machine. And they have times when you can go and they are every 30 mins starting form 08:30am until one hour before the mall closes. and for each time they only have a limited number of tickets. The best time to go in the morning. Later in the day and at night not so good.
Don't make the mistake in buying the VIP Tower tickets, these cost 500 AED ($136) This will NOT get you access to the Machine floor, just 148 and 125
Both the machines have identical dies. At this time the machines are despatching gold blanks. Be ready with your 10 AED notes before you go, there is no where to change your money up there.
After you feed your money into the machine wait a few seconds for the coin to be flipped out of the hopper, otherwise you could get the wrong design.
Each coin will cost you 10 AED a piece ($2.72)
