Duffy pressed pennies or elongated coins are already big at The Tokyo Disneyland Resort. Given Duffy's planned arrival at the California Disneyland Resort, one day Duffy pressed pennies may be big at The Disney California Adventure as well. [Update: On September 4, 2012, the first two Duffy pressed pennies were placed on stage at Disney California Adventure, Disneyland Resort, USA.] We hope this page will be of help in building your collection.
As Advanced Pressed Penny Collectors know, Duffy's popularity and proven marketing potential have made Duffy and his fiend, ShellieMay, stars of Tokyo Disney Resort's DisneySea Park. We first spotted Duffy The Disney Bear on a DisneySea "pressed penny" in 2006. Now there are several pressed pennies, calendars with pressed pennies... even a penny press machine offering only Duffy themed penny souvenirs, a sure sign of stardom.
ParkPennies.com readers will remember the first Disney calendar in the world to feature a pressed penny... was the 2009 Duffy The Disney Bear pressed penny calendar. (Pictured below) It was a big success and it appears Duffy pressed penny calendars have even became an annual tradition.
Because of the popularity of Duffy elongated coins, we have added this Duffy pressed penny collection page. We plan to list in this guide an ever growing number of Duffy related pressed penny items. Please contact us with any Duffy "pressed penny" related items you'd like to see added here.
Update: As of late 2010, Duffy has become a growing part of The Disney California Adventure! Rumors are that Duffy and ShellieMay pressed pennies are only a mater of time. And people tell me they even make Duffy stuffed plush toys too?!
Just for fun, a picture of a marquee from 2007 that shows a full set of three

shown on this guide page as well as the DisneySea pressed penny guide pages.
