The Disneyland Pressed Penny & Elongated Coin Collection Books
Our Take on a Fun Part of The Pressed Penny Collecting Phenomenon
The original prototype Disneyland Souvenir Penny Collector™ Limited Edition elongated coin book was the start of something big. It contained only a humble DL0015 Flat Ears Mickey Rays pressed penny in its cover, but, most any pressed penny collector could see at a glance it would be a hit. That Limited Edition pressed coin book design, with a few small changes, became The Souvenir Penny Collector Book, First Edition. In turn, the
First Edition Disneyland Souvenir Penny Collector book became the first penny book ever offered at any Disney Park. That very popular, but, short-lived, stretched coin book offered an exclusive, limited edition elongated or "smashed" coin, the DL0146, in its cover. Sadly, to date, that First Edition Penny Collector book has been the only on-stage Disney penny book to feature a real pressed penny elongated coin in its cover.
Based on our research, after the prototype Limited Edition pressed coin book and the on-stage First Edition Disneyland pressed coin books, the prototype Second Edition penny book was developed. A book that, like the First Edition penny book, offered an exclusive limited edition coin in its cover, this time the coveted DN0023. You may have noticed the Second Edition book was branded "Disneyland Resort" rather than "Disneyland". That caused some advanced collectors to search the entire Disneyland Resort... in vein. Unfortunately, the Second Edition book never was released.
Many penny collecting books or elongated coin holders have followed. The early Disneyland issues are shown above. Matter of fact, most all Disneyland Resorts have introduced penny collecting books of several different colors, styles and themes. Sadly they all are missing one of the key features that made the original book such a hit, the elongated or "squished" coin in the cover. True, there have been a few Tokyo books with simulated medal souvenirs in the cover and a WDW penny book with a punched metal silhouette of Mickey Mouse in the cover. But, no on-stage books with real elongated coins are known to this date, save The Souvenir Penny Collector, First Edition book. We are hopeful that the "penny in the cover" books may return to Disneyland. After all, today, there are hundreds of Museums, space centers, national and state parks, zoos, aquariums, themed restaurants, and amusement / theme parks that offer these very cool collectible books. It just doesn't seem right that Disney Resort visitors don't.
Long time collectors have probably heard of issues in using these books for long term storage. We also do not suggest the use of these books for long-term storage of coins. (The PVC content of the vinyl compartments can, might, under some circumstances could interact chemically with copper and zinc cents.) However, the books are often used for short term storage, display, and needless to say, they make a very cool pressed penny collectible by themselves! Of course, if they have an exclusive pressed penny in the cover, gotta have... two!
