UNIQUE
FRANCE MACHINE BACK ON STAGE AFTER RENOVATIONS
The
Souvenirs de France store at Epcot closed for renovations. It partially reopened under a new name (“Les Halles”) in November 2012.
The penny press machine – which includes the rare “Agent P” design
available to participants in an interactive game – was off stage even after
renovations were completed.
The
machine became available again between March 20 and March 23, 2013. Due to the difficulty of getting this coin, I
do not expect to offer any for sale.
