10/10 A Token Machine has arrived
7/14: Machine 20 scan added, Machine 14 Retired. GSY
2/2020: Token Machine 2 added. GSY
8-22-24 - There are still eight machines, however, all are now dollar machines. Four dollars by credit card for all four and a dollar bill for a single. No penny is required.
Seven of the eight are the same, but some are in different locations.
From what I can tell, Machine 13 has been retired and replaced with Machine 21 (in large part because of two duplicate animals - not the same engravings, as well as the machine bearing Machine No. 2, which was 13's designation as well) but I could get no confirmation about 13's retirement. - 84
