A lowball and a Confederate Half Dollar. They are actually mounted a lot further away, but I cropped the image to put them together...

If you ride the Riverfront Streetcar, the last stop on the line, French Market Station, is right at the Mint building. Get off the trolley, look to the left and there you are! There is no charge for admission, just walk right in and say hello the the guard at the desk. Everything mint related is on the first floor and there are bathrooms on site.

The machine at that you couldn't remember what it was is an automatic planchet/coin weighing machine.

Thank you for these pictures. It sure looks a nice museum. I was at Vienna mint this april and it seems that they could learn something from no mint museum. All they have there is an old furnance with LCD screens installed and a selection of newer bullion coins on display. But then again, it is strictly speaking not a museum, so ...
