A one-die machine at the exhibition coal mine (steenkolenmijn) in the town of Valkenburg in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. The machine is located inside, and the posted coordinates are those of the road side opposite to the entrance of the coal mine.
The only design available shows a hammer and pick (crossed, the typical mining symbol) with a miners lamp in the middle, and bears the text "STEENKOLENMIJN.NL - MUSEUM - 1917 - VALKENBURG".
The machine takes a 5 eurocent coin to be smashed, and a 1 euro coin in order to let the machine work. The machine is available only during opening hours (see
www.steenkolenmijn.nl). The machine is located inside not far from the entrance and close to the ticket sales booth.
