CM Cast Member
& Special Event
Pressed Coins
©2005-2018 ParkPennies
Cast Membership
Has Its Privileges!
The "CM" Disneyland Cast Member and Special Event Pressed Coin Guide includes all known pressed coins / tokens that were officially offered to guests of special events or to Cast Members. These coins were not officially available to Disneyland Resort guests without having extra privileges. Advanced collectors may also want to include the extremely hard to find DS Disneyland Arcade Shop coins as a key addition to the Cast Member issues listed in this guide section. There may also be references to Cast Member or Special Event elongated coins in the "Disneyland Resort Elongated Coin Test Rolls Guide ".
If you are just starting to collect Disneyland pressed coins, do keep in mind that because of the limited distribution of coins in this group, the collection will not be as easy to complete as say The Lands Collection . However, in this author’s opinion, that’s good news. Because these are harder to find special coins, they are appreciated by both the novice and the advanced collector. Many non-collectors that have attended the represented events or worked at the park, will find these mementos of interest as well. What a great way to inspire a conversation about Disneyland special events, Cast Members, and of course, pressed coins!
The CM Guide is only one section of the Complete Collection of Disneyland Resorts Elongated Coins . Additional elongated coins are listed in the respective guides linked above.
Happy collecting,
Boomer and The Folks at ParkPennies.com
CM0001 Retired Ron Dominguez
pressed penny image. RON DOMINGUEZ, Ronald K. Dominguez portrait, DISNEYLAND ® , star border.

However, a quantity of zinc cents were pressed in advance for distribution at the retirement party. Reports to ParkPennies.com suggest the die was presented to Mr. Dominguez as one of his retirement gifts. A red handkerchief, signifying

Die was available for 13 hours (less down time) to attendees during
the Sneak Preview Event. The event required Park entry and an additional fee
payment. This machine and one "identical" to it were
placed at opposite sides of the main event room at the Grand Californian Hotel on the afternoon / evening of the event. The machines were intermittently out of order, lines formed at the machines during the event. Attendees were told that elongated quarters vended from the two machines were the same. Therefore, many attendees pressed coins from only one machine location. The event organizer advised
Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com that his plans were to auction the event dies soon after the event. However, those plans may have been lost as a result of park reorganization. Status of these dies is still unknown. (This
