Here's an elongated quarter, pressed under such high pressure that there's no remaining evidence whatsoever as to the year or style of the host coin (although it must've been a 1965 or later issue) -  See: https://www.legendsofamerica.com/vinita-mcdonalds/

Cuss, that's a cool one, especially since it's a quarter. That McDonald's location might still serve pizza, like the one in Orlando, FL.

On Friday and Saturday (May 31-June 1, 2024), my wife and I drove the Missouri portion of Route 66, starting just south of St. Louis and traveling west to Springfield. The only elongated machine we came across was at the Uranus Fudge Factory in St. Robert, MO.  Rolled on a silver coin from the Netherlands.  Rolled on U.S. steel cents.  Designs available.  Road sign along I-44/Route 66.

They're still here!  Two machines located outside, at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Centre Street (at the top of Clifton Hill), in Niagara Falls, Canada. The machines look pretty beat up and are covered in bird crap, but these manually-cranked machines still work - if you've got two Loonie Dollars and a nickel. I just happened to have a few Liberty and Buffalo nickels. In the image, the three at the top were rolled on Liberty nickels and the four at the bottom are on Buffalo nickels.

very nice! I'm surprised that the machine can squash a nickel like that..
