Disneyland Park Presents...
Elongated Quarters!

1996 was another great year for Disneyland "pressed penny" collectors. The now well established penny press machines and the nearly new nickel press machine welcomed a quarter press! The themes and engraving were again, very nice. Eurolink's Jimmy Vargas's engraved them in nicely done "3-D" relief. Many collectors were attracted to the new Disney pressed coin denomination. But, they did cost a dollar each, twice the cost of a pressed penny, if you include the cost of the pressed quarter. And, they didn't fit well in the two inch by two inch holders so many of the Advanced Collectors used to hold the coins in their collections... But, they were big, shiny, offered a big picture of Mickey, the Disneyland Hotel with the monorail, the Disneyland Castle and cost only a dollar! Gotta have one! Er ah... three!

Over all these years, the cost of a pressed penny has stayed at only 51 cents, nickels at 80 cents and pressed quarters at one dollar. Not a bad price for a souvenir that can last a lifetime. Some might say they are one of the best values in souvenirs anywhere, especially at Disneyland.
