Riverside Building County Hall LONDON - Westminster, England, SE1 7PB Phone: 0870 5000600 Website A change of Sponsors of the London Eye has seen two machines from Pennymangle being positioned there. These are all the new frame models from the operator. They have been in position for a couple of months, when I used them the action was effortless. A pleasure.
[Collector's tip] With all Pennymangle machines it is better for the Queen's head to be in contact with the die - the portcullis could leave a slight witness on the rolled design.
The designs are all of London's attractions. All have a solid ring border. Each penny costs £1.20 contactless only
