Two Pennies in a Fountain (Hills store)

Today I was in Fountain Hills, Arizona, a fancy, isolated little town at a store, and as I was leaving, I spotted two pennies on the floor by a coin machine. You know, one of those big green clunky contraptions that you pour your money in and something spits out. I have no idea. A sheet of paper to redeem somewhere? Dollar bills?
