NOTE! Access to this penny smasher requires zoo admission!
This is another one of Red Shoe’s favorite Waymarks…a second penny smasher in a zoo! This smasher is at the lower entrance to the PPG Aquarium building outside the gift shop. It has 4 designs: a seahorse, stingrays, a shark, and a penguin (see photos). The machine is in excellent condition. The price is 50 cents and your penny.
There is another four design penny smasher at the carousel in the lower part of the Zoo before the roadway underpass that features zoo animals. See Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Souvenir Pennies # 1 (Carousel) in link below.
