Machine 1 is as you walk through main doors and to the right down a short hallway to the gift shop. Cost to press: $1.00 each design (dollar bills only; no quarters accepted). No pennies required. This is a new type PennyCollector machine that accepts a $1.00 bill for each design, or a credit card for a $4.00 charge for all four designs only and after hand cranking, presses a pre-loaded zinc penny. Designs all have a beaded border with 'Wonder Works':

This machine can also be accessed by a side door on the north side of the building that takes you next to the gift shop where the machine is. This is an easy way to avoid the crowd if you are just there for the machine. This penny machine is across the parking lot from Hard Rock Cafe penny machine.
