NOTE! Access to this penny smasher requires zoo admission!
This is one of Red Shoe’s favorite Waymarks…a penny smasher in a zoo! This smasher is at the carousel in the lower part of the Zoo before the roadway underpass. It has 4 designs: The Pittsburgh Zoo Tree Logo, a Komodo dragon, elephant, and a gorilla (see photos). The machine is in excellent condition. The price is 50 cents and your penny.
There is another 4 design penny smasher at the lower entrance to the PPG Aquarium that features aquatic animals. See Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Souvenir Pennies # 2 (Aquarium) in link below.
