Pressed Pennies and Elongated Coins
CM Cast Member & Special Event Guide
© 2005-2010 ParkPennies

All Disneyland Cast Member and Special Event pressed pennies or elongated coin souvenirs known to date are listed in this reference guide. Most all of these coins, by definition, required paid admission to a special event or Cast Member privileges at the Disneyland Resort to access the machine(s) or to obtain a coin listed here. Advanced collectors may also want to include the extremely hard to find DS Disneyland Arcade Shop coins as a key addition to the Cast Member issues listed in this guide section. There may also be references to Cast Member or Special Event elongated coins in the "Disneyland Resort Elongated Coin Test Rolls Guide ".

The CM Guide is only one section of the Complete Collection of Disneyland Resorts Elongated Coins. Additional elongated coins are listed in the respective guides linked above.

Happy collecting,

CM0001 Vertical pressed penny image. RON DOMINGUEZ, Ronald K. Dominguez portrait, DISNEYLAND ® , star border.
Coin commemorates Ron Dominguez’s retirement August 31, 1994 and was the first coin ever made to celebrate the retirement of a Cast Member. For a short time around Mr. Dominguez's retirement, Cast Members could press this coin for free backstage.
No backstamp.

The number of coins pressed can not be determined because the machine was free to Cast Members back stage and not metered. However, a quantity of zinc cents were pressed in advance for distribution at the retirement party. Reports to ParkPennies.com suggest the die was presented to Mr. Dominguez as one of his retirement gifts. A red handkerchief, signifying The Order of the Red Handkerchief was also presented to retirement attendees and is sometimes found accompanying the Cast Member pressed penny.

This machine and one "identical" to it were placed at opposite sides of the main event room at the Grand Californian Hotel on the afternoon / evening of the event. The machines were intermittently out of order, lines formed at the machines during the event. Attendees were told that elongated quarters vended from the two machines were the same. Therefore, many attendees pressed coins from only one machine location. The event organizer advised Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com that his plans were to auction the event dies soon after the event. However, those plans may have been lost as a result of park reorganization. Status of these dies is still unknown.

Backstamp: 2008 DISNEYLAND ® RESORT, FACILLITES & OPERATIONS SERVICES, CAST APPRECIATION BAR-B-QUE. Available 5/15/08.

Reports by trusted sources to Robert Hoff, state that 300 unpressed "No Cash Value" arcade tokens were distributed to about 150 attendees with the option to press the tokens in the available machine at the 5/15/08 Cast Member appreciation Bar-B-Que.
The die, cut by Eurolink, misses the fine detail of hand engraved dies which makes identification of the small type face and copyright difficult. Die life planned over more than a single year, to be used with new backstamp each year.
This is the first formal use of a "token press" at the Disneyland Resort. The token provides a heavy, quality souvenir in a world of zinc, possibly soon to be copper-plated steel pennies, a welcome innovation in this collector's opinion. Only one coin was offered by this machine.

Reports by trusted sources to Robert Hoff, state this coin was originally an addition to the CM0026 and CM0027 series of pressed tokens, as they use the same obverse die. We believe this token was distributed not long after the CM0027, sometime in late September or early October of 2009? The number of elongated tokens issued and other details are still unknown.
