We just left the gift shop and both machines are out of order. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum documents the life of the 16th U.S. president, Abraham Lincoln, and the course of the American Civil War. Combining traditional scholarship with 21st-century showmanship techniques, the museum ranks as one of the most visited presidential libraries. Its library, in addition to housing an extensive collection on Lincoln, also houses the collection of the Illinois State Historical Library, founded by the state in 1889. The library and museum are located in the state capital of Springfield, Illinois, and are overseen as an agency of state government. It is not affiliated with the U.S. National Archives and its system of libraries.

They're two machines located in the rear of the gift shop. Electronic (CC reader) payments and dollar bills accepted. Pennies in machine. If you use a credit card, you have to tap/slide your card for each penny. After payment, you still have to crank a handle to press the coin. Pre-loaded Zinc pennies
