10/06/22: There's no dime machine there anymore. But still have the two penny machines. 6/4/2024: the Dime Machine is still there, farthest machine from the penny machine and the fortune teller machine.
I did not had enough money for the dime, so I did not try it.
I did had enough change for the Pennies. The penny machines still works, no issues with both machines. (ALA).
