ParkPennies specializes in Disneyland pressed coin and medallion news, machine locations and guides. ParkPennies' extensive hobby-standard guides cover every Disneyland Resort pressed coin ever onstage plus special event, prototype and Cast Member issued coins. Since 1997, fellow collectors have helped ParkPennies add 100s of pages featuring Disneyland pressed coins, medallions, tokens, ASI silver spoons and more. Enjoy!
10/07/2024 Our thanks again to Alex L. in Hong Kong for reporting yet another Hong Kong Disneyland magical coin machine! This latest find replaces the HKDL1119-1121 set from Toy Story Land with a new Inside Out 2 themed set of three magical coins, the HKDL2405, 2406 and 2407. Alex also shared additonal images of the most recent Hong Kong Disneyland machines which have been added to the newest page of the ParkPennies Hong Kong Disneyland Magical Coins Guide. It has been a great week for this Disney Resort!
09/29/2024 We've added a dedicated Batuuan Spira Gift Card / Token page for fellow Star Wars Collectors. These unusual thick metal "tokens" have been offered at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. So far, there are four "Types" or "Versions" of these collectibles. All are pictured on this new guide page. Although the earliest, the Type I gift cards, have increased in price, all the Spira gift cards are still available and most are still very affordable if purchased as "empty" gift cards in the resale markets. Happy collecting,Boomer.
09/01/2024Alex D. alerted us to the miss-match between the DL0811-813 Critter Country pressed penny machine marquee and button set. The marquee is a carry-over of the DL0645-647 machine order, which offered the same designs with a different backstamp, suggesting that the coin order had not been changed: Winnie, Tigger and Rabbit. However, the DL0811-813 machine buttons are arranged Winnie, Rabbit, Tigger. Our draft guide entry now reflects the machine/button order. Kelly B. has offered to confirm that the machine buttons have been assigned correctly. So, please wait for the final revision of the DL0811-813 guide entry before numbering your books etc. [Update: Guide numbering and images are complete.] Happy collecting, Boomer
08/12/2024 LOTS of medallion changes happening currently. Pixar Fest and the D23 Day At Disneyland medallion offerings have ended. Several machines / medallions are now being replaced / updated / retired. If you are or in the park now or recently, please email Boomer with your updates to today's draft medallion location page. Thanks and Happy collecting, Boomer.
08/10/2024 Our thanks to Ricky K. for reporting that the D23 Day At Disneyland medallion machines are offstage. The Disney Blog stated the medallions would be available (while supplies last) "From Aug. 8-11, collectors will also be able to search for four new medallions featuring the D23 Day at Disneyland Resort logo on one side and Disneyland Resort artwork on the other. The medallions will be available for purchase at Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen in Disneyland park, Kingswell Shop at Disney California Adventure park and near the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage and lawn at the Downtown Disney District." However Ricky K. reported the machines were all offstage by late morning, today, August 10, 2024. Additionally,Kelly B.said the medallions may have all been sold out last night, August 9, 2024. That was a short run! The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page has been updated. Boomer.
08/09/2024 Our thanks to the well-known Disney collectors, Delores and Chuck N. for spotting a medallion numbering error. The D23 Day at Disneyland set of four medallions is currently offered at three different locations, but they are all are the same. Therefore, their guide numbers should also be the same. (Medallions, unlike pressed coins, are not assigned guide numbers based on gate e.g. Disneyland, DCA, Downtown Disney.) Collectors who wish to collect medallions based on location may purchase duplicate sets at any of the locations and each location will be added to the guides. Collectors that do not have access inside the gates of Disneyland or California Adventure, may purchase this set at the Downtown Disney location. The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page has been updated and offers the locations of all the latest known Disneyland Resort area medallion and pressed coin machines. Happy collecting, Boomer.
08/08/2024 The "Disneyland D23 Medallions" are now onstage. Locations per the Disney Blog and ParkPennies visitors are: The Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen in Disneyland park, Kingswell Shop at Disney California Adventure park and near the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage and lawn at the Downtown Disney District. Prices are $30. for the set of four. Early reports are that each machine has the same four medallions. The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page has been updated. (Some if not all Pixar Fest medallions have been taken offstage and replaced by the previous medallions. We are waiting for conformations before updating those locations.) Happy collecting, Boomer.
08/04/2024 Our thanks to Kelly B. of the Pressed Penny Exchange FaceBook Group (Also a medallion exchange :-) sharing pictures of the latest medallions and medallion machines at the Disneyland Resort. We are currently working on the latest updates to our Complete Guide to Disneyland Resort Medallions. The Disneyland Resort has already issued 172 medallions. There may be more than 200 medallions by the end of this year! Happy collecting, Boomer
08/01/2024 Our thanks to Pedro Jr Fernandez on FaceBook for reporting a new medallion onstage at the Disneyland Resort. It's the fourth medallion in the "Disney Attractions Series" of medallions, Captain Jack Sparrow. Reports indicate that the Pieces of Eight Gift Shop medallion machine also now holds the earlier Disney Attraction Series medallion #1, #2, #3, as well as this new #4 medallion. The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page will be updated soon. Happy collecting, Boomer
07/29/2024 Our thanks to an annoy-mouse reporter who shared news and an image of a new Cast Member Retirement Coin. Word is that the retirement party was held on July 24th, 2024 to honor Everett Rowlett for 42 years of service! I'll bet many readers will recognize his image on the coin. I remember Everett for being friendly and... thankfully bringing more than one coin press back to life for my daughter and me over the past decades. More information about this new DS0025 Disneyland Shop Coin and a guide listing to follow as we gather more information from ParkPennies visitors, friends and retirement party attendees. [Update 7/30/24: I've added an early draft guide entry and page for Everett's Retirement Coin to invite feedback, corrections, additions... to the guide entries.] Do contact Boomer if you have more to add. Happy collecting, Boomer.
07/22/2024 Our thanks to Kelly B., Mike R. and Larry H. for sharing with us news about four upcoming "Disneyland D23 Medallions". Here is a quote from The Disney Parks Blog at https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/dont-miss-limited-time-d23-offerings-at-disneyland-resort/ : "From Aug. 8-11, collectors will also be able to search for four new medallions featuring the D23 Day at Disneyland Resort logo on one side and Disneyland Resort artwork on the other. The medallions will be available for purchase at Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen in Disneyland park, Kingswell Shop at Disney California Adventure park and near the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage and lawn at the Downtown Disney District." We will post updates as reports are received as well as update the Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page. Happy collecting, Boomer
07/14/2024 Our thanks to Cindy L. for her help improving the descriptions of some Hong Kong Disneyland pressed coins. Edits, corrections and additions by fellow collectors are key to documenting this wonderful hobby and are greatly appreciated. Happy collecting, Boomer.
06/20/2024 Our thanks to Kelly B. for reporting the new Inside Out 2, 2024 medallion featuring Anxiety, Embarrassment... at Bing Bong's Sweet Things in Disney California Adventure, aka medallion #170. The medallion previously held in the Bing Bong machine, medallion #155 Toy Story 4 Pixar Fest Souvenir Medallion Featuring Ducky and Bunny, was moved to Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa replacing the Pumbaa and Simba medallion #118. The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page has been updated. The guides will be completed soon, if I can unconfuse myself. :-) Happy collecting, Boomer
06/01/2024 Our thanks to Raoul R. for his report and images updating the new location and look of the Lilo and Stitch, Spacesuit Stitch, Stitch, Lilo, Stitch & Angel, pressed coins, hand crank penny press guide numbers DR0233-236. The machine has moved from its "Wetzel's Pretzels" location to the "Tortilla Jo's restaurant location" east of the Monorail Station and replaced the Zootopia hand crank pressed coin machine which featured Judy Hopps, Flash Slothmore, Nick Wilde, and Benjamin Clawhauser, pressed pennies, guide numbers DR0237-241. The Zootopia machine has not yet been located elsewhere onstage and *may be* retired. The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page has been updated and the guide listing for the DR0237-241 noted. Happy collecting, Boomer.

05/10/2024 The latest medallions are now mostly complete. Over 200 images have been added. The editing of "Retired*" medallions is still in progress. (Medallions sometimes move to a new location or return after they have been taken offstage. It's challenging.)This is the best page to view the new Disneyland medallions. From that page, you may click on an image to open a larger image in a new window or you can click on the link below the image to open the full guide listing for that medallion. The Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page is also current and is often updated. Suggestions, new machine reports or report and error or typo, email Boomer. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/07/2024[Edited for clarity on 05/08/24] Our thanks to Mike R. for his report. I've updated the Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page. The new Astro Blasters / LGM Store Command set, the #140-143 Cars 2006, Wall-E 2008, Dory 2016 and Lightyear 2022 medallions, have moved. The machine is now located on the Star Trader side of the walkway, inside the space Mountain exit. Happy collecting, Boomer
05/05/2024 I am currently processing image for the latest 39 medallions, machines and marquees to be listed in the upcoming guide listings. This takes some time. I know there are collectors that can't wait to see these new medallions. So, here are our draft images of the latest medallions both obverse and reverse. (Sorry these are not petty :-) Page one of the latest Disneyland Resort Medallions and Page two of the latest Disneyland Resort medallions. For descriptions and locations of all the medallion and pressed penny machines onstage at the Disneyland Resort, please link, bookmark, share the very up to date, current ParkPennies.com Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page.

04/06/2024 The Disneyland Resort has announced "Pixar Fest 2024" to be held April 26 through August 4, 2024. They have also mentioned that Pixar Fest 2024 themed medallions will be placed throughout the resort. We are of course also hoping for some new pressed coin designs as well. News will be posted here as these souvenirs become available at the park as well as updates to the ParkPennies Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page. Happy collecting, Boomer
03/22/2024 Lately, it's been really slow at the Disneyland Resort. No new machines have been reported since January! If you are the first to find the next machine or location change for the Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page, do contact Boomer and see your name in print here, with full bragging rights! :-) Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/29/2024 Our thanks to a major Disney Doubloons page contributor, Brady J. His most recent doubloon images and page suggestions made possible updates to the very scarce WDW Type I brass doubloon links and page placements. We will also be able to update the WDW Type I brass doubloon images with the next full page edit. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/28/2024 A fellow collector has confirmed the four medallions currently offered at Harbor Point / Parkside Cast Member entrance are the DRM0050 Dumbo, DRM0051 Pinocchio, DRM0052 Mowgli and Baloo. (These three medallions were previously located at the Disneyland Hotel.) Plus the DRM0030a Steamboat Willie with Copyright previously located at Kingswell Camera Shop, DCA. This guide page has images of all Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallions both current and retired. Happy collecting, Boomer
02/27/2024 Fellow collector, Joe F. reported that the CM0045-47 machine was replaced by a medallion machine offering surplus Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallions to Cast Members. We have not noted the CM0045-47 machine as retired, at this time, as it may return. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/24/2024 Our thanks to Randy K. and Kelly B. for sharing current souvenir machine locations. We've already updated the Disneyland Resort Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Locations Page. Please contact Boomer if you are the first to spot a new machine location, design change or if any listed machine's location isn't clear to you or easy to find. Happy collecting, Boomer
01/29/2024 No new medallion machines have been reported since our last update on 1/22/24. Some of the new penny press machines have been repeatedly reported as out of order or in need of adjustment. Our guide updates are delayed pending DLR machine repairs which I understand are in process. However, we do have coin design images and descriptions of the DR0209-212 and DR0213-216 on their guide page as well as all the other recently placed penny press machines on their respective guide pages. The Pressed Coin and Medallion location page is also current with locations and descriptions of all medallion and coin press machines that are currently onstage at the Disneyland Resort. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/22/2024 More updates from Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay). Both previously Disney 100 Years of Wonder hand crank machines in Downtown Disney, DR0209-212 and DR0213-216, have changed!Our thanks to Kelly B. for the machine and marquee images. The Pressed Coin and Medallion location page has been updated with the new Downtown Disney and Candy Palace machines. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/20/2024 Our thanks to Kelly B. and Ricky K. for reporting a new penny press at the Candy Palace / Penny Arcade. Guide numbers will be DL0795-802. It's an eight-play machine that replaces the previous Disney 100 Years of Wonder set and offers the classic characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Goofy, plus Minnie 2024 and Mickey 2024. Our thanks to Ricky K. for this image of the DL0794-802 Candy Palace penny press marquee. Guide updates to follow. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/19/2024 Our thanks to Randy K. for his suggestion that the ParkPennies Pressed Coin and Medallion location page location name "Opera House Exit" be updated to match the Disneyland Apps location name of "The Disneyland Story" from the full Disneyland App name, "The Disneyland Story Presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln". (I can understand the name Opera House and Abe Lincoln weren't a good fit.) Now, people new to Disneyland will more easily find the location. We will also be phasing in a transition from "Main Street Penny Arcade" and its derivatives, to "Candy Palace". Some of us will lament the change remembering when a guest in the 1950s could plink away at the Penny Arcade's shooting gallery targets with a pump 22 caliber Winchester 62a rifle. In the 1990s, guests enjoyed the show provided by a game of Wacky Gator among dozens of nostalgic arcade games. In the 2000s, guests enjoyed the addition of several "press you own coin" coin presses... But, in spite of the building signage, "Penny Arcade", nowadays the Disneyland App calls it "The Candy Palace" as The Candy Kitchen has merged with the arcade. Well, nowadays in the "Candy Place" I do enjoy the nuttles that the late chocolatier Rob made famous. :-) Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/17/24 Two more new penny presses were reported at the Disneyland Resort, in addition to the new three-play CA0299-301 machine at Kingswell Camera in DCA, there is a new CA0302-309 eight-play penny press at Collectors' Warehouse offering Guardians of the Galaxy souvenirs and also a new set of eight DL0787-794 pressed coins at Port Royal Curios with a Haunted Mansion theme. Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) reported the latest arrivals. There are still a few Disney 100 Years of Wonder penny presses and one medallion machine still onstage... stay tuned. The Pressed Coin and Medallion location page has been updated again today. I'm swamped, pressed coin guides will be updated soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/14/2024Our thanks to Ricky K. for sharing pictures of a new penny press at Kingswell Camera Shop in Disney California Adventure. The Disney 100 Years of Wonder penny press machine coins are now being replaced sometimes the previous set of pennies and sometimes a new set. Kingswell Camera has this new set of pressed pennies, the CA0299-301. Guide updates to follow, LOTS of new coins and medallions to update! The Pressed Coin and Medallion location page has already been updated. Happy collecting! Boomer.
01/13/2024 The 33 new Disneyland Resort medallions now have permanent guide numbers per the Pressed Coin and Medallion location page listings. Many of these medallions are amazing. Most all have Disneyland specific designs or reverse images. One features a banner reading "#1" and "Disney Attraction Series". Hmmmm.... Some interesting souvenirs for sure and they are all currently available. Guide updates with images etc. to follow soon. -For now, I've uploaded an "informal" :-) working image of the Latest January 2024 Disney Medallions, #94-126. It's a big file, but features each of the new medallions and a sample reverse for each set. I hope it will be of help in making up your lists until the the Disneyland Medallions Guides are updated. Happy collecting, Boomer
01/09/2024 Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for reporting and sharing tons of images of nine, yes 9 medallion machine have changed at the Disneyland Resort! And my thanks for Kelly's extensive help sorting out the many many changes. (Some medallions appear to have been placed back on stage, others have been moved from one machine to another and in one case, the same four medallions were available in two different locations.) This can be confusing. :-) So... The Pressed Coin and Medallion location page has been updated. For now, the guide numbers are provisional pending examination of a few "un-retired" medallions for positive identification / possible changes. Medallion Guide updates will follow. Happy Collecting! Boomer.
01/09/2023Don C. just shared his latest business card elongated coin, the "DISNEYLAND, PRESSED COIN COLLECTOR, 2024, WALT DISNEY WORLD". The DT Don's Tributes, Disney themed elongated coin guide will be updated later today to include this very cool coin. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/08/2024 No reports of 2024 pressed coins or medallions at the Disneyland Resort as of this weekend. However, WDW has already retired many Disney 100 Years of Wonder coins and medallions. Happy collecting, Boomer
01/06/24 Our thanks to Randy K. for his suggestion to add onstage dates to the Pressed Coin and Medallion location page. Now when at the park or planning a Disneyland visit, it is easy to know which coins and medallions have been placed onstage since your last visit. (The most recent coins and medallions are still highlighted.)
The Pressed Coin and Medallion location page in PDF format is now linked directly at the top right corner of most all pages for easy viewing and / or printing from smartphones, Chromebooks, PCs or other devices. The green locations / map logo at the top of most pages will take you to a dedicated page offering PDF as well as Excel and webpage formats. These downloadable files are easy to save as is or add your own notes... coins acquired / needed etc. Page updates are often and include not only machine locations, but descriptions of every souvenir available at each location, the costs, payment options and now include even the date placed onstage. :-) We are told it is the best, most current and complete list of Disneyland Resort area pressed penny and medallion machine locations available. We would love to take credit. But, credit goes to the many fellow collectors who share Disneyland Resort pressed coin and medallion changes with ParkPennies. -If you are the first to spot a machine location change, report it to Boomer and see your name in print. :-) PS: Please note Disney 100 Years Of Wonder Medallions are selling out.
Sold-out medallions may be randomly replaced by substitutes. Don't delay completing your collection. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/01/2024[Edits 01/05/2024] We've streamlined this news page, a bit. Everything is still here! I think. :-) The Change Log link was moved to the drop down menu, near the top along with the archived news links. This way they can be accessed from most all of the pages on this website. We've also reduced the homepage introduction and linked our new Welcome Page here as well as listing it prominently in the drop down menu. With the addition of the drop down menu at the top of most all pages, the secondary page / guide links were redundant; nowadays the majority of our visitors are using mobile devices and smartphone screen space is limited. (This website was initially built in the 1900s :-) for full-sized desktop screens and legacy and, at the time, legacy 1200 baud connections.) News from the year before last, 2022 news, was moved from this page to a new 2022 News Archive Page. (All past news posts are periodically moved to these archive pages, which can be easily searched and go back to the last century!) Please let me know if there are any other changes you'd like. I'll try. :-) Happy New Year and Happy collecting, Boomer
12/27/2023ZZZCoins.com has just announced their new 2024 coin, the forth in the series. This year's coin, the DT0033, features the Disney PeopleMover with a custom ZZZCoins.com backstamp / reverse and is currently available from their website pressed on cent, with a very limited number pressed nickel, dime and quarter offered. Happy collecting and Happy New Year, Boomer.
12/26/2023 The longtime contributors to ParkPennies.com, Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) and Alex D. have shared reports that The Star Wars Trading Post, Downtown Disney, Star Wars Mandalorian medallion set, #14-17 was is back onstage! The Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallions #62-65 that had been at that location, are rumored to have moved to replace the sold out Star Wars themed medallion set #26-29, which had been located at the exit to the Space Mountain attraction. Boomer will be double checking his take on this very confusing update. If there are any corrections, we will post here. Some images, courtesy of Kelly B., have been added to the Disneyland Medallions Guide. More images are expected later this week. Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/26/2023 There have been reports that a previously known medallion machine has been moved to a new location. We will post an update as soon as we have pictures etc. Best of the Season and Happy Collecting, Boomer.
12/23/2023 Our thanks again to fellow collector Les H. for sharing yet more smiles for the Holiday Edition jokes page. Happy Holidays and happy collecting, Boomer and the folks at ParkPennies.com.
12/17/2023UPDATED LATE 12/17/2023: A newly issued Cast Member pressed coin has just been reported! The new coin is listed as the DS0024 Disneyland Arcade Shop Merry Christmas 2023 pressed token. As many readers know, the "DS Guide coins" are made on property at the Disneyland Resort by Disneyland Cast Members for Disneyland Cast Members. They are never onstage and are often very hard to acquire. In the past they have sometimes been offered by an estate or gifted by a Cast Member to a relative or friend... It has been a long time since a new "DS" coin has been reported. Ol' Boomer couldn't wait to share the news! Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/16/2023 Our thanks to fellow collector Les H. for sharing some Holiday Smiles with us. Happy collecting, Boomer
12/14/2023Happy Holidays and the Best of the Season to all! From the folks at ParkPennies.com, Bob, Charlotte and Anastasia.
12/11/2023Kelly B., Mike R. and other collectors have noted a newly placed "While Supplies Last" sticker on some Disneyland Resort Medallion Machines. Maybe some new medallions are on the way? Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/07/2023 We updated the Disneyland Resort Medallion Images Guide page. (It's the page to bookmark.) Now there are links at the bottom of each medallion image which will open the related guide page. (You may still click on the small medallion image to open a larger image in a new window.) It's easy to view all the medallions on a single page and then if you'd like more information, just click a link to open the related guide page. There we have the details shared by fellow ParkPennies.com visitors, onstage and offstage dates, the original machine locations, images of the machine, marquee etc. enjoy! The ParkPennies Pressed Coin and Medallion location page has locations and descriptions of all the medallions currently onstage. PS We've done a lot behind the scenes re-writing of the website lately. Do let me know if / when you find a bug or would like to suggest an edit or feature. Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/04/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for reporting a new 2024 Medallion collection book. We will be adding this specialized medallion book to the guides soon. Happy collecting, Boomer
12/03/2023Paul D Green just released a great Disneyland pressed coin and medallion video. It is a very professional video taking us with him on a visit to the Disneyland Park in a search for the many medallion and pressed coin machines there. Do check it out. If you are not yet subscribed to Paul's YouTube Channel, please do and check out his diverse past videos as well. Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/01/2023 No word of new medallions or pressed coins so far. Happy collecting, Boomer
11/10/2023 Our thanks to Alex L. in Hong Kong for his help with new images of the new Frozen HKDL2314-16 magical coin machine and marquee. (Last month, I confused a new image of an onstage 2014 Frozen penny press with the recently placed 2023 Frozen machine. All is correct now, with newly added images of both the 2014 machine and 2023 machine. Happy collecting, Boomer.
10/27/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. for sharing images of the newest Disneyland Resort medallion machine #23. This new Disney California Adventure machine offers four Magic Key themed medallions with images of a Castle, Pixar Pal-A-Round, Walt and Mickey Partners, and the classic Disneyland Sign. View a snapshot of the four Magic Key Medallions. We hope to have medallion images and descriptions added to the Disneyland Resort Medallions Guide soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
10/26/2023 Our thanks to the ParkPennies readersKelly B., Alex D., Mike R... who reported a new set of Disneyland Resort medallions today. This set of four Magic Key Passholder themed medallions (not Disney 100 themed medallions) will be available at the Magic Key Terrace in Disney California Adventure Park starting on 10/27/2023. For conditions and requirements, please read the official Instagram post by disneylandmagickey:"Attention medallion collectors!! Starting October 27, 2023 a new medallion machine will be available at the Magic Key Terrace in Disney California Adventure Park, featuring four new medallions specially designed for Magic Key holders. Available for purchase during Magic Key Terrace's regular operating hours. Must be dining at the lounge to access the machine (Magic Key Terrace dining reservations are recommended). Designs are subject to availability and may vary. Discounts do not apply. Subject to change or cancellation without notice. Both a park reservation and valid admission are required for park entry." Well, if collecting was easy, it wouldn't be fun... or so I keep telling myself. :-) We hope to have images, guide descriptions etc. soon. The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated. [This post was extensively edited 10/27/2023 to remove some confusion and add different confusion. %-)] Happy collecting, Boomer
10/24/2023 Our thanks to Clinton N. for reporting a new location for the Remy, Colette & Linguini, Ratatouille Logo and the Bellman Mickey, Goofy's Kitchen, Goofy and Stitch (DR0130-132 and DR0150-152) pressed penny machines. They have moved from the location near Goofy's Kitchen to the lobby area of the Disneyland Hotel Fantasy Tower, adjacent to the Fantasia Gift Shop and near the model cruise ship. The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated. Happy collecting, Boomer.
10/21/2023 Our thanks to fellow collector and longtime contributor to ParkPennies.com, Jeremy H. for sharing with us some excellent images he recently took at the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and at the Tokyo Disneyland Resort. Pictures from this collection of more than 200 images will be appearing in the ParkPennies guides over the upcoming weeks. Happy collecting, Boomer
10/15/2023 We have added several more machine and marquee images to the guides and more are in the queue, courtesy of the Wooten family. Happy collecting, Boomer.
09/14/2023 Our thanks to Alex D. and Kelly B. for reporting a new location for the CA0238-40 Capt. America, Black Widow and SPIDER-MAN pressed quarter machine which has moved from the Avengers Superstore location to Gone Hollywood. We've already updated the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page. Happy collecting, Boomer.
09/06/2023 Our thanks to a fellow collector who reported that a few medallions at the Disneyland Resort had changed. Another trusted source confirmed that a few out of stock medallions were temporarily substituted and all should be back to normal by now. However, if you purchased medallions on or around September 5th, especially at the World of Disney, do double check your purchases. Happy collecting, Boomer
08/29/2023 Our thanks again to the Wooten Family. This time for this week's generous donation of Disneyland images dating as far back as the 1960s! We look forward to sharing select, relevant pictures from this nostalgic collection with you, courtesy of the Wootens. Happy Collecting! Boomer.
08/27/2023 Our thanks to Alex L. in Hong Kong for reporting two new machines at the Hollywood Hotel, Hong Kong Disneyland... and for sharing his excellent images. View the HKDL Magical Coin Guide with guide numbers and machine images. (Updates to follow.) Happy collecting, Boomer.
8/15/2023 With thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) the ParkPennies.com The Disney 100 Years of Wonder Medallions Guide has been updated with medallions from the latest five machines. Hopefully of interest to collectors, we also have a single page with just the images of ALL the Disneyland Resort medallions ever issued. The retired medallions are flagged with a gray background and there are links to in depth guide listings including marquee and machine images at the bottom of the page. There are still some bugs... of course... :-) Please email Boomer if, when you spot a typo etc. The page is new and I wanted to upload it ASAP for visitors who have asked about it... repeatedly! :-) Happy collecting, Boomer.
08/09/2023: With great sadness, today I heard that Bill Hogarth passed away on August 4, 2023 with family near at the age of 90. As many of us know, Bill was a great friend to many of us collectors as well as a champion of the hobby from its very start back in 1987. I know I speak for many of us when I say we will miss you Bill. I will update Bill's page over the next week or so. Boomer.
08/02/2023: Our thanks to Jeremy M. for reporting that the Disneyland Resort recently updated the silver Spira gift token packaging. Although the token itself is unchanged, the 2023 sleeve in Aurebesh now reads "may you have the better hand". (The original inscription read "may your deals go well".) Our thanks to Jeremy M. for also translating the Aurebesh. We hope to add an image of the new Spira token envelope soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
07/22/2023 We added links in the ParkPennies Disneyland 100 Years of Wonder pressed penny and medallion guides to two of DavidsCoinTravels excellent videos:Disneyland 100th Medallions Set | Complete Guide and Disneyland 100th Pressed Penny Set | Complete Guide. These videos document a moment in time / history for pressed penny and medallion collectors as though we visiting the park and the machines. I think they are a great complement to the ParkPennies Disney 100 reference guides and worthy of sharing with ParkPennies Disneyland 100 Years of Wonder pressed coin and medallion collectors. Happy collecting, Boomer
07/16/2023 You may have noticed some newly added guide notes, history and images. Some vague estimates of onstage and offstage dates are being refined and images are being added or improved. All thanks to thenotes and pictures donated Wooten Family. The Disneyland Park Guide is about half-way done. The Resort Hotels and Downtown Disney Guides will follow. This project will take some time, but will be well worth it for those of us who reference these guides now and in the future. Happy collecting, Boomer.
07/03/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for her report and images of a new Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye themed set of three pressed pennies in the Rajah's Mint penny press, at the Adventureland Bazaar, Disneyland Resort, Anaheim. Guide numbers are DL0784, DL0785 and DL0786 which replaced the DL0648-50 Indiana Jones set at the same location. %-) The designs feature A. Indy chased by boulder, B. "Eyes of Mara" and C. Indiana Jones cracking a whip. All coins in this set include a new backstamp design, a stylized "ADVENTURELAND". etc. More stuff here soon. :-) The Disneyland Park Pressed Coins Guide will be updated soon. The new format, larger print two-page Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated with this new pressed coin machine set. Happy Collecting, Boomer
06/30/2023 Our thanks to the well-known ParkPennies contributor, Dee D. for reporting Taiwan's Formosa Express 100th Anniversary Pressed Souvenirs! This two machine set features Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Chip 'N Dale, Donald Duck, Dumbo Stitch, Aerial and Marie. Happy collecting! Boomer.
06/21/2023 Dozens of early Disneyland penny press and marquee images have already been added to the guide pages thanks to the Wooten Family. The awesome Wooten collection of Disneyland coin press machine images is strongest over the years where the ParkPennies guides were weakest. (1987-2005) More of these most welcome images will be added over time. Boomer will probably add more errors too. :-) So, do let us know if you spot any errors or have any content you'd like to add to this "by collectors for collectors" reference site. Happy collecting, Boomer.
06/14/2023 We are most grateful for a very generous donation by the Wooten Family. As longtime collectors may know, Nancy, John and Wendy Wooten, over many dedicated years, gathered an amazing collection of elongated coins which included a significant number of notable Disneyland pressed coin related documents, notes, guides, images, coins, and other items. Of course, Nancy had shared her extensive knowledge and insights with ParkPennies visitors since the start in the 1990s. However, the addition of these most welcome items will provide even more and better images, expanded details and history. The images and documents will be shared and preserved here for collectors today and in the future. We have added a few new and / or improved images already and will provide a listing of *some* of the more significant updates on the Change Log in the future. Happy Collecting! Boomer.
5/29/2023 Our thanks to several Disneyland pressed coin collectors for confirming that the CA0223-225 Star Wars Classic Quarter Press Machine is now off-stage. Given recent events, we have marked the guide listings as "Provisionally Retired" for the time being. The CA0232-234 Star Wars Classic Quarter Press Machine (Star Wars YODA, Star Wars Princess LEIA and Vader "I am your FATHER") is still available. As you can see, in the updated Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page (PDF) the number of "press you own coin machines is dwindling. Don't delay if you wish to add these coins to your collection. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/26/2023 Please check our ParkPennies.com FaceBook Page or contact Boomer for news if www.ParkPennies.com is down or out of date. We may have some software and / or server (Adobe / Godaddy) "challenges" in June 2023. [Update 6/2/2023: Issues have been resolved.] Boomer
05/20/2023 Our thanks to Randy K. and Chris E. for helping rid these pages of some typos. Yes, I know typos on ParkPennies.com? :-) Do contact Boomer if you spot an error, typo or have something to add to a guide or article. ParkPennies is by collectors and for collectors, your comments are always most welcome. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/11/2023 Although Disneyland Resort medallions are still a new collectible at the park, some have already been taken offstage. But, the good news is that because these are still relatively new collectibles, most all of them are still available onstage at the Disneyland Resort or from fellow collectors and resellers. Matter of fact, all Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallions are still currently onstage, except for the two error medallions. For collectors who wish to collect these fun souvenirs, here is a page with images of all Disneyland Resort medallions ever issued including error medallions. (Medallions that have been taken offstage and may not return have a gray background.) For machine descriptions and locations, please download the new format, larger print two-page Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page (PDF) featuring machine locations and descriptions of all pressed coins on page one and of all medallion machines on page two. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/06/2023 - 5/09/2023 Some have asked about the latest Mandalorian medallions, Boba Fett, Grogu, Bo-Katan Kryze & Cad Bane. Now, given Boomer has trouble telling Mickey from Donald... and given Boomer's failing eyesight... is he sure the first medallion in this set is Boba Fett and not Cobb Vanth?? Well, no he's not! The dent in the helmet identifies Boba's armor... we thought Boba was dead... but then Cobb Vanth was wearing Boba's armor and Boba was found alive... then... Well, Mickey has big ears and Donald has a bill, but Boba and Cobb? Boomer melt down! As always your help in the positive identification of the character pictured on the Disneyland Resort #62 medallion is most welcome. Click this link to email Boomer. [Update 5/09/2023: Several welcome comments were received representing both Star Wars Fans as well as one "investigative report" quoting a person in the industry. The consensus favors Boba Fett as the intended subject of the DRM0062 medallion. So, he will hold the title unless / until facts supporting a change are submitted and confirmed.] Happy collecting, Boomer and the folks at ParkPennies.com.
04/21/2023 A new format, larger print two-page Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been uploaded. My thanks to the well-known collector that thankfully brought to my attention the very small font size. (As more and more locations were added, the print kept scaling smaller and smaller. :-( But, this new format offers larger print plus a dedicated page for pressed coins and for medallions. The links, file locations, printing, viewing, etc. are unchanged. Enjoy! Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/19/2023 ANOTHER NEW Penny Press! Yes, Kelly B. found this one also. %-) Join her FB Group here: Pressed Penny Exchange. The latest find is an eight design Disney 100 Years of Wonder penny press machine that has taken the place of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout! Pressed Coin Set CA0279, CA0280 and CA0281. The old machine will be noted as offstage and probably changed to "retired" as soon as confirmed. But, as we say farewell to a three-design machine, we are greeting a new eight play Guardians of the Galaxy CA0291-298 machine! The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page is already updated, the Disney California Adventure Pressed Coin Guide and Disney 100 Years of Wonder Pressed Coin Guide will be updated soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/19/2023 NEW Penny Press! Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for being the first to report and to send images of this new machine. The DL0776-783 eight-design vending-style penny press dispenses nice classic character themed Disney 100 Years of Wonder designs at the Main Street Penny Arcade. We have already updated the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page. The Disneyland Park Pressed Coin Guide and Disney 100 Years of Wonder Pressed Coin Guide will be updated soon. Kelly B. also noticed that The Walt's Quotes, DL0660-662 quarter press machine was offstage and the DL0669-671 Mary Poppins three-play pressed penny machine are missing. Maybe they are retired. We will note the guides and probably change the status of these two machines when confirmed. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/17/2023 Kelly B. reports that the Splash Mountain penny press, previously located in the exit to Splash Mountain, has been moved to the boardwalk in front of Pooh Corner. Also that one of the Pooh Corner machines which was located in that same area, has been moved. -Updates to follow. We have updated the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/17/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. for her amazing help with the latest CA0288, CA0289 and CA0290 and continuing help researching the Finding Dory set. If you would like to acquire these coins for your collection, do contact Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/17/2023 Our thanks to Michael H. for sharing his extensive comparison of the CA0217-219 pre-conversion pressed coins and the early post-conversion coins. I hope to have samples of the current Finding Dory pressed coins soon and will post the findings shortly after. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/16/2023 Our thanks to Jeremy H. for being the first to report a new Disney California Adventure Disney 100 Years pressed penny set, the CA0288, CA0289 and CA0290 at Kingswell Camera and also for sharing images of the machine, marquee etc. Given the changes in the machines, there may have also been a slight change in the CA0217-219 Finding Dory pressed penny set designs / backstamps. [Edit 4/16: Over the years cabinets have changed and sets moved. Since 1-13-2021, the Finding Dory set has been inside Trolley Treats in the cabinet that last held the CA0265-267 2020 annual nickel set, not the cabinet that originally held the CA0217-219 Dory set. Recently there have been rumors that support a comparison of the current Finding Dory pressed coins with the originals for any possible change.] Updates to follow as the plot thickens! :-) The handy Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated and can be downloaded, printed before you go to the park or checked real-time while you are in the park via phone etc. Updates to the Disney California Adventure Pressed Coins Guide will follow. Happy collecting, Boomer
04/14/2023 Our thanks and the Eagle Eye Award :-) goes to the longtime Disneyland pressed coin collector, Delores N. for reporting a typo today. (Now corrected. :-) We very much appreciate your help by reporting any typos in grammar or programing. Happy collecting, Boomer
04/13/2023David's Coin Travels on YouTube has an interesting video today about Digital Pressed Pennies. Is it the future? Happy collecting, Boomer.
03/22/2023 Updated the Jokes Page... Update 3/24/2023 a fellow ParkPennies visitor, in sympathy for the plight of our jokes page, shared some new jokes. :-)
03/22/2023Added six business cards to the Honorable Mention page that did not qualify for addition to the Disneyland Wannabe Guide. But deserve honorable mention as elongated coin business cards of people who support the hobby of collecting Disney pressed coins. Have an elongated coin business card that isn't already listed in a guide? Let Boomer know. Happy collecting, Boomer.
03/22/2023 Added the Wooten's 50 years of rolling together pressed coin to the Nancy Wooten Tribute page.
03/21/2023 Our thanks to the well-known collector, Dee D. for sharing a really fun coin. After much detective work, Dee found and acquired an example of The Donald Dack pressed coin apparently made by a European fan trying to emulate Disney stuff. :-) Yes, Donald Dack is now a proud member of our collection of pressed coins with Disney spirit / honorable mention. (There are lots of other spelling errors on this website, but I did those. :-) Happy collecting, Boomer
03/19/2023 Don Cade put on an fantastic So Cal Coin Meet 2023 yesterday! Lots of great people sharing the hobby... The weather was perfect in the mid-70s, clear skies. The location was excellent with ample tables, shade and a lake view. Don also hosted a great lunch plus snacks, beverages... Needless to say, there was a good amount of pressed coin trading, buying, selling and story telling going on that lasted for hours. (Yes, Boomer was a contributor to the story telling, but by far not the only one! :-) About mid-meet Don made a surprise presentation of an amazing gift to "Boomer". It is a framed set of "Thank You Boomer" pressed coins including a coin die engraved "Thank you Boomer from the Parkpennies.com visitors and Disneyland Elongated Collectors" with example pressed coins (both canceled Thank You Boomer and not canceled Thank You Boomer pressed coins) over a plaque that reads "Presented to Boomer, March 18, 2023, from the parkpennies.com visitors". Accompanied by an extensive set of coins pressed on the coin die as well as SoCal Coin Meet 2023 TEC coins. There are no words to describe how surprised I was and how honored I feel. Thank you to Don Cade, Jim McNally and all fellow collectors that were part of this very special gesture. I probably should say how humbled I am... But, I am so dang proud of this fantastic gift that I am going to be bragging it up to everyone, as you can see! :-) Additionally, Don gave all attendees of the meet a gift pack. The pack included a sample of the very limited canceled and uncanceled "Boomer" DT0031 coin pressed on Ecuador 100 Sucres coins, a SoCal Coin Meet 2023 TEC pressed on an Ecuador 100 Sucres coin, a Mini TEC Meet pressed penny, a ZZZCOINS.com DT0019 pressed penny, a Tyler Tyson, TEC President wooden nickel and a classic "TEC Lucky Join Today" pressed penny. Not already a member of TEC?
For more information visit TEC The Elongated Collectors Web site. Thank you all so much for sharing this wonderful hobby of collecting Disney pressed coins and... for visiting ParkPennies over the past 25 years. Very Happy Collecting, Boomer.

02/21/2023 Our thanks to April S. for catching a typo, an embarrassing typo. :-) Happy collecting, Boomer

02/19/2023 Our thanks to Jeremy H. for his recon :-) of the Disneyland Resort and for sharing some great pictures. Happy Collecting, Boomer
02/19/2023 As avid Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallion collectors are aware, so far there are two "Key" error medallions. They were placed onstage and then replaced by corrected versions. Of course, ParkPennies has comparison images of the four tokens, the original error medallions and their replacements. Here are the link to the DRM0030/DRM0030A error Steamboat Mickey and the corrected version and here is a link to the DRM0047 / DRM0047A error Lilo and Stitch and the corrected design. These medallions were the original onstage versions and only onstage for a week or so. But, they can still be found for sale online and via some collectors on FaceBook. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/18/2023 Our thanks to Alex L. in Hong Kong for sharing a new pressed coin at Hong Kong Disneyland! The guide number is HKDL2304 and it will be added to the Hong Kong Disneyland Magical Coins Guide soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/08/2023So Cal Coin Meet 2023! Our thanks to longtime elongated coin collector, roller and TEC Member... Don C. who has set up the SoCal Coin Meet 2023 for noon Saturday, March 18th at Yorba Regional Park, Anaheim, CA! Southern California "Meets" have been a wonderful part of the hobby for many years. Don't miss out! RSVP with Don. Happy collecting, Boomer
02/05/2023 Special thanks to Kelly B. for some amazing pictures and scans. Many of them are in the Disney 100 Years of Wonder Medallion Guide. By the way, do check out her FaceBook Group, Pressed Penny Exchange. Lots of pressed coin news, sales and trading going on there! Happy collecting, Boomer
02/04/2023 The Disney 100 Years of Wonder Medallion Guide is online. It's a mess and not polished yet, but why single out that one ParkPennies page? LOL. If you are collecting DLR medallions, we hope it will be a help. The guide covers 44 new medallions, 11 new machines, marquee images... Our thanks to Kelly B. , Kathy B., Ricky K., Jess T., Alex D. for images, scans and reports. Most rumors suggest more medallions and pressed coins are on the way. Check back often, we will post updates first on this news page. Don't forget the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page if you are going to or at the park. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/29/2023 The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated with descriptions and locations of all Disneyland Resort medallion and coin press machines. I'm also writing up a dedicated Disney100 Year of Wonder Medallion Guide page that will be uploaded soon. For now, the Marquees and locations page offers small marquees that if clicked will open much larger marquee images with detailed medallion art for each location. Currently there are 12 medallion machines onstage. Eleven of them, 44 medallions, are new and themed Disney100 Years of Wonder.
The Pieces of Eight Pirate medallion set, The Main Street Penny Arcade Electrical Parade medallion set, and the Tomorrowland Attractions medallion set are all "off-stage". Some sources have rumored that these "retired" medallions *may* return after the Disney100 event has concluded, in maybe 18 months. As of 1/29/2023 the Star Wars set, guide numbers 14-17, is the only "original" medallion set still onstage. (View Disneyland Resort medallions in The Medallion Guide.) Updates to follow. If you spot a new machine, email Boomer. Happy collecting!
01/28/2023 Several ParkPennies visitors have mentioned that some medallion machines are out of order or out of medallions. Disneyland Cast Members do not service these machines. I'm guessing that whoever does support these machines is swamped and will eventually catch up. Happy collecting Boomer.
01/27/2023THREE MORE Medallion machines! Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) reports that there are another three medallion machines... one in each hotel! Updates to follow. Happy collecting, Boomer
01/27/2023EIGHT Medallion machines have been reported so far today. It will take some time to catch up with the guide listings and scans. But, we have the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page DRAFT COPY. Probably not yet complete or completely accurate. But, should be of help at the park. I would like to thank Kelly B. , Kathy B., Ricky K., Jess T., Alex D. and others for a massive number of new medallion machine reports and images. I'll sort them out a bit more overnight and post them tomorrow. But, for now here are some of the Marquees and locations, click on the marquee images to see larger images. NOTE: It was reported that the medallion machines were not accepting credit card payment today. My speculation is that the machines were not yet fully connected for payment processing. Hopefully this will be corrected soon. You may wish to bring cash to be on the safe side. Prices for at least some of the new medallions have increased to $6. each or $20.00 for four. Updates to follow. Happy collecting, Boomer
1/27/2023 100 Years medallion machine report and images courtesy of longtime collector and contributor to ParkPennies, Ricky K. This new machine is located at the Kingswell Camera Shop in Disney California Adventure. The seasonal penny press is missing. We will add scans of the new medallions to the Disneyland Resort Vended Medallions Guide soon. (For now, you may click the link to the Medallion Guide and then the click the marquee pictured there to see the medallion designs in close-up.) Updates to follow. Happy Collecting, Boomer.
01/25/2023 Given the closing of the WDW Splash Mountain attraction and eminent closure of the Disneyland attraction, I have updated the Splash Mountain Penny Press Page to include Splash Mountain themed coins of all types on a single page. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/24/2023 Our thanks to Jimmy in Hong Kong for reporting these new coins at Hong Kong Disneyland. We will be updating the Hong Kong Disneyland pressed coin guides soon. Happy collecting, Boomer
01/14/2023 ParkPennies rumors state that there will be a new medallion vending machine planned as part of the San Fransokyo overlay in Disney California Adventure. We look forward to the first reports of the new machine and others that are already in the works. To view all the medallion vending machines currently at the Disneyland Resort and their locations, we offer the Disneyland Area Pressed Coin and Medallion Machines Location Page and for a listing, pictures and descriptions of all vending machine medallions ever issued at the DLR, we offer the ParkPennies Medallions Guide. Happy collecting, Boomer.
