copper cents. New machine in 2018. Contrary to earlier listings on pennycollector, these coins
do not have backstamps (a prior
machine with different designs did, though).

OHIO TURNPIKE –
Mahoning Valley service plaza Westbound mile
marker 237 Complete
set of 4 pressed on new zinc pennies dispensed by the machine. These roll off-centered - I have not found
any of the turnpike machines rolling with well-centered designs. They have a high price point at the
machine, the machines are slow as all get-out (as my mom would say), and they
are only available on zinc, so I have no current plans to stock other
locations along the turnpike. |
