In the maker's words

DESIGNER: Eric Fuller RELEASE DATE: 8.29.2022 EDITION: 97 Copies Released SIZE: 3" x 1" Pennytentiary was our first coin release puzzle and the culmination of months of design and prototyping. To solve this sequential discovery puzzle, you must release the penny trapped inside. Pennytentiary's complexity and depth rival that of our trickiest puzzle boxes. The solution is very challenging, with multiple "aha" moments to be found. Success relies upon the discovery and use of various tools to execute more than dozen confounding moves. No force, tapping, banging, or dexterity is required. Pennytentiary ships in an unsolved configuration. Reviews and Blog Posts: Boxes and Booze posted a fine blog review of this puzzle.
