I was visiting my favourite local op shop this morning and the owner Desley kindly gifted me these three World Expo '88 penny medals.
I told her I would promptly upload them to the blog and let her know!
These medals were available at manual machines across the Expo site, whereupon after entering $1 or so, an old Australian 'Kangaroo' penny coin would drop into the machine, and upon turning the handle, would be pressed and embossed with a special World Expo '88 marking, which in this case features the Expo 88 sunsails and the monorail.
Here they are!
