First on-stage August 1, 2000 imbedded in the front
cover of Disneyland Souvenir Penny Collector Book, First Edition, also known as The First Edition Penny Book. Books were first sold at the
Emporium and later also from trays atop some penny presses. Removed from sale on about August 15, 2000. Reportedly, a design flaw kept the books from closing properly when filled with coins. Knowledgeable sources confirmed that 5000
were made and of them, about 2500 were delivered to Disneyland. Reports stated about 1500 sold for
$7.00 in the Park and about 1000 were sold through various Disney outlets and
Cast Member stores at $3.50 each. (Those were the days!) 2500 assumed
destroyed. |
