How sampling works — Penny‑A‑Pour Per ABC regulations, we operate a “Penny‑A‑Pour” system: each sample = one penny. Drop a penny in the vendor bucket to receive your sample. No pennies? Penny redemption booths at each station will cash larger coins for pennies. All pennies collected will be donated to the Zoo’s Animals Fund.
