The Museum of American Heritage will display nostalgic artifacts in a new exhibition called Cointraptions: Classic Coin-Operated Machines this fall. The exhibit opens on Sept. 20, 2019 and will run through Feb. 16, 2020. Travel back in time to the early 1900s to the 1950s when pennies, nickels and dimes were dropped into slots across the nation. Coin-operated machines were widely used in places of businesses such as general stores, toy stores, parlors, restaurants, bars, casinos and gas stops. See how the United States businesses operated before the era of the credit card. On display are vintage cash registers, vending machines, mechanical banks, a pinball machine, a mutoscope, gambling devices, slot machines and more. The Museum of American Heritage is located at 351 Homer Avenue in downtown Palo Alto, California. The museum is open Friday through Sunday, 11AM to 4PM.
