Machine 1 located outside gift shop. It is a single-die electric Eurolink.
1) Science symbols with "ARIZONA SCIENCE CENTER"
Machine 2 is on the 3rd floor as soon as you get off the elevator. It does not have a design but is an exhibit showing how it works. It presses the penny with just dots on the boarder. You'll have to pay admission ($10 for adults) to use it. It's free of charge, just supply your own penny.
The exhibit invites Museum-goers to insert their own penny, marvel over its pliability as it is squished, and take it home. Very cool, in my opinion, and also had lots of kids trying it out. Arizona is, after all, the copper state.
1) Pressed penny with just dots on the boarder, no design
