For $2 you can select one of four designs relating to the four Activities 'hosted' by Scenic World. A copper slug is dropped from holders when the coin slot is rotated.

From Wikipedia: (visit link)
"The Scenic Railway is the steepest cable-driven funicular railway in the world, the steepest incline of 52° contained within a total incline distance of 310 metres (1,020 ft). It was originally constructed for a coal and oil shale mining operation in the Jamison Valley in the 1880s, in order to haul the coal and shale from the valley floor up to the escarpment above. From 1928 to 1945 it carried coal during the week and passengers at weekends. The coal mine was closed in 1945 after which it remained as a tourist attraction."

By 'accident' the Scenic Railway design was the one that I has 'smashed' for $2 from the blank copper 'slugs'. There is four options, which cover the four scenic activities based from this tourist destination, ie., the Railway, the Skyway, the Cableway, and, the Walkway.
