Dave,
OK, cool. Will be interesting to know for sure. Tho, I was suspecting it was a limited-local production. Just curious as to whether or not any of the souvenir wooden nickels I have from various family road trips when I was a kid came from there.

Put lots of energy & excitement into my road trips 2002-2011, but believe my most-memorable was Route 66, September 2009. A fun part was exploring towns, particularly town squares, like this in Girard IL:Any guesses as to the car to which this engine belongs!?Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve"Nothing lasts forever" __ Simple Plan __ 'Perfect' -
Hey Dave,
You are welcome! Sometimes, the "spur of the moment" situations are better than those planned....
The wooden souvenirs it prints today ... are those for businesses all across the country, or just in that general area?
Enjoy your visit to the bank building!

Dave,
That is awesome!!!! So cool that you got to see it in action ... & share that video here with us, thank you! Color me a bit jealous ... & frustrated. Looking at the map, it seems I drove right past Tenino on my way to Seattle WA from Oregon in 2011. Dangumit. Though, I may not have had time to fully enjoy the museum anyway, but still.....
