The Magical Milestones Pressed Penny Collection
Disneyland's 50th Anniversary
Collector Set of 52 Elongated Coins!
The Disneyland Magical Milestones 50th Anniversary Pressed Penny Set is a very exceptional collection. It commemorates Disneyland’s 50th Golden Anniversary and features 51 matching pressed pennies, each depicting one Magical Milestone year from 1955 through 2005, plus a matching Cast Member issue.
The full set of 51 pressed coins was vended from 17 penny press machines on-stage throughout the Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California from May 4, 2005 until the night of October 1, 2006. More than one trusted source has reported to ParkPennies.com the coin dies were canceled as of late 2006.
Because of their significance, these coins have been cross-referenced in this section with special reference numbers prefixed by "DG" for Disneyland’s Golden Anniversary followed by the year they commemorate, in addition to their customary collection guide numbers and guide listings in the standard DL, CA, and DR Penny Collection Guides.
Magical Milestone "pressed pennies" are also known as elongated coins, flattened, crushed, squashed, rolled, mashed, smashed, stamped, squished, memory, keepsake, stretched, rolled-out, smushed and pinched penny souvenir pressed coins.
