MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1241 Posts	Posted 08/22/2025 6:03 pm I'm now the proud owner of a 1/10 oz .999 Silver monkey made from a scratched up GSM Mercury Head round! Sacrificial round: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a167488.html Admittedly, I've been planning this for a while, someone had shared a website that tracks these machines with me and this was the nearest one. I wish I could remember the site! Here's two others pennies I tested the machine with along with a silly medallion from an odd vending machine, these will go to the daughter's collection Edit: If anyone is curious, the machine also makes a lion, but I ran out of cash & change!

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25683 Posts	Posted 08/22/2025 9:45 pm That's pretty cool, MNP! Those machines used to be everywhere, but now only at major tourist destinations. And on the rare occasion that I see one, either I have no change or only zincolns. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1241 Posts	Posted 08/23/2025 12:25 am Thanks, both! Hondo Boguss, for a silver monkey, it was worth planning ahead. I honestly had the idea months ago, so when the chance arose, I was ready. I dug around a bit, that website was pennypresses.net, but I'm not vouching for anything other than finding this particular machine with it... that being said, I have one more round that looks circulated; we may have another day trip coming up! How far am I willing to drive for a silver peace sign from a machine that may not still function I wonder...
