DN Disneyland ® Neverland
Prototype Elongated / Pressed Coins

DN0001 Mickey Rays / Mickey Sunburst The First Disney elongated coin design. Horizontal pressed penny image. DISNEYLAND ® , Classic outlined image of Mickey’s face "hollow outlined ears" with rays, © DISNEY dot border grip on right side. Earliest known Disney elongated coin type ever made. (Centek prototype.) This coin very similar in design to DL0001, DL0005, DL0007, and DL0019. Circa late 1985 to early 1986. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) This Disney coin was pressed from a prototype die designed for use in a machine type that preceded the first installed Disneyland penny presses and the Disneyland generation Centek single play machines. Examples of this coin are known in only a few collections as of 2020. Die status is reported as open. Extremely scarce. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DNP0001.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.)

DN0002 Nifty Nineties Mickey / Straw Hat Mickey Pressed Coin. Vertical pressed coin image. MICKEY MOUSE , Mickey Mouse in a 1890’s style suit, standing, full length, full face, head cocked to one side, tipping his straw hat with his left hand, dot border, DISNEYLAND ® , © 1986 THE WALT DISNEY CO. Per the machine owner, this die was made in November of 1986.No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) This Disney coin is often called the "Straw Hat Mickey" or "Nifty Nineties Mickey". Mickey Mouse is in 1890’s summer clothing, as in the 1941 Disney short, The Nifty Nineties. Interviews by Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com with key people close to this prototype, suggest that Vance Fowler of The Cimeter Group hoped that an agreement covering this coin in a Cimeter machine would be received and accepted by Disneyland. David P., a relative of the Cimeter CEO and business partner eventually presented the DN0003. The DN0002 / DN0003 artwork is well executed and in high relief. (For examples featuring the dates 1928 to the left of Mickey and 1988 to right, please refer to DN0003.) Examples pressed circa 1986-7 on both copper and zinc cents are known to exist and most likely number less than 10 in total. Die status has been reported as open by two trusted sources. Extremely scarce as of this 2020 update. Reported as held by only a few advanced collectors as of 2020. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DNP0002.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.)

DN0003 Dated Nifty Nineties Mickey / Straw Hat Mickey Pressed Coin. Vertical pressed penny image. MICKEY MOUSE , 1928 Mickey Mouse in a 1890’s style suit, standing, full length, full face, head cocked to one side, tipping his straw hat with his left hand, 1988, DISNEYLAND ®, dot border, © 1988 THE WALT DISNEY CO. For examples without the dates 1928 to the left of Mickey and 1988 to the right, please refer to the DN0002. This die was engraved between 1987 and 1989. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) Image courtesy of the N. Wooten collection. This Disney coin is often called the "Dated Straw Hat Mickey" or "Dated Nifty Nineties Mickey". Mickey Mouse is in 1890’s summer clothing, as in the 1941 Disney short, The Nifty Nineties. Interviews by Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com with key people close to this prototype suggest that Vance Fowler's company, The Cimeter Group, proposed this coin / machine to Disneyland Management via a California based company representative. However, according to a principal, negotiations broke down over Disney demands and the machine was never placed onstage. The artwork is well executed especially for its time and done in high relief. (For examples without the dates 1928 to the left of Mickey and 1988 to right, please refer to DN0002.) In 2000, die status was reported to Robert Hoff of ParkPennies by a trusted knowledgeable source as lost / destroyed. Again in 2005 and 2012, this die was confirmed as lost / destroyed by the original owner / engraver. Known examples of this coin are scarce. In 2006, a picture of the left and right prototype Disneyland penny press marquees from the original machine, each featuring a DN0003 was made public via an email to select collectors. A few additional examples are known. Extremely scarce. Mr. Fowler has stated that "not more than a dozen or so were run". Possibly six of them are known to have survived as of this update in 2015.

DN0004 Double Band MICKEY 60 YEARS prototype pressed penny. Horizontal penny image. MICKEY 60 YEARS, lines above and below 60 Years, ("Double Band") Mickey Mouse standing, DISNEYLAND, grip arcs over 5 dots in the dot border. Very similar to the DL0003. Believed to date back to 1988. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) In addition to the length of the gripper slot, there are other differences between this coin and the three dot version, the DL0003. No evidence has been found that this coin was ever on-stage. In 2008, denominational variations of this coin were sold via an internet auction. However, in total, there are few collections known to have examples of the DN0004 as of 2015. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DNP0004.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.)

DN0005 Small Bear Country prototype pressed penny. Horizontal pressed penny image. DISNEYLAND ® with heavy "D", BEAR COUNTRY, small bear holding double outlined guitar, © DISNEY, dot border, clean sharp grip slot. Similar to the DL0002, DL0006. Circa 1989. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before2004 are known to have stampbacks.) Many small differences make this a hard coin to spot. Key is the double outlined guitar which is mostly solid on the DL0006 and the heavy point of the "D" in Disneyland. Due to the few known examples of DN0005 and the lack of any on stage documentation, we believe this very scarce coin was never on-stage. Die status is unknown. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DNP0005.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.)

DN0006 Frontier Land Mickey Prototype Pressed Penny. Horizontal pressed penny image. Mickey Mouse with pistol; flat ears, outlined hat and lettering, FRONTIER LAND © DISNEY Disneyland ® 3 dot gripper slot, dot border. Very similar to the DL0010 Frontier Land Cowboy Mickey Pressed coin. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.)
On both DN0006 and DL0010 Mickey’s hat is outlined and completely open at the top. On DN0006 Mickey’s right ear is slightly outlined, grip arcs over 3 dots, curl on top of "Frontier" does not touch a dot. Border dots are smaller than on DL0010 and second dot from the right is out of alignment with the other border dots. (On DL0010 Mickey’s right ear is totally flat, grip arcs over 5 dots, curl on top of "Frontier" touches a dot, border dots are larger than on DN0006 and second dot from the right is in alignment with the other border dots.) Due to the scarcity of the DN0006 and lack of any on-stage documentation, we believe this coin was never on-stage. Die status unknown.

DN0007 Pirates of the Caribbean prototype pressed coin. Vertical pressed penny. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, outlined bearded pirate wearing tri-corner hat, long coat and boots, holding a sword in his right hand and a pistol in his left hand, standing, full length, wide stance, PIRATES between pistol and sword, OF left, THE right, CARIBBEAN between and below boots, © DISNEY DISNEYLAND ®, dot border. NO "e". Our current guess is circa early 1990s. Not closely similar to any other elongated coin, prototype or onstage. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) Cluttered artwork has been suggested as the reason this coin was never on-stage. Still it is one of my favorites. Very scarce in early years. Since the turn of the century, several different denominational variations have been reported although in very limited numbers. However, still very hard to find in 2020. Die status is unknown. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DNP0007.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.)

DN0008 Mickey Rays flat ears Prototype Pressed Penny. Horizontal pressed penny. MICKEY MOUSE, head with rays, large head, flat ears, © DISNEY, Disneyland ® . Looks much like the onstage DL0015 except for the LARGE DOTS in the border. May date from around 1990-2? No stampbacked examples known.

DN0010 Mickey in ToonTown Trolley Prototype Pressed Coin. Vertical pressed coin. Toontown trolley also known as the Jolly Trolley, Conductor Mickey, MICKEY'S TOONTOWN, Disneyland®, ©DISNEY, dot border, no "e" for Eurolink. Not closely similar to any other elongated coin, prototype or onstage. As told to Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com by a longtime Electro Mechanical Shop Cast Member now retired, a penny press machine was planned for placement in Toontown. However per recollections of people close to the project at the time, a simple design developed into a very nice, but, over budget animated penny press design and was abandoned. This penny design dates from that period of time / project. Some years later, a conventional design three play dime press machine was placed in ToonTown, the first Disney pressed dime machine in history.

No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) Not closely similar to any other prototype or onstage elongated coin. Noticed for sale via an eBay auction on 10/5/08 by well known collector, Dee D. Very scarce examples are known on nickels, dimes, and quarters. The die may date back to the early 1990s. Rarely seen for sale or trade as of 2020.

DN0014 THE Fantasmic! Prototype Pressed Penny. Horizontal pressed penny. FANTASMIC! in open letters and underlined by a lightening bolt. Stars arc over an outlined Sorcerer Mickey Mouse standing arms outstretched in lower right, Disneyland © , Enchanted Brooms or flames from Fantasia dancing (appear to be flames) from left to right above a wire border. Circa early 1990s. Probably one of the most famous, sought after and highly valued Disneyland Never-Neverland coins. Not closely similar to any other elongated coin, prototype or onstage. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) Fantasmic! premiered (soft opening) in the Fall of 1991. Official start date of the show was Spring (March) 1992. Note that this coin has Disneyland © rather than the usual © DISNEY. Cast Member interviews by Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com and other strong evidence support that this coin was offered from a single die machine. (An image of the Fantasmic! single-coin marquee was shared with ParkPennies in the 2010s.) A retired "Arcade Shop" Cast Member stated that the machine was set up and ready to be placed onstage, but, because a suitable location could not be agreed to, it never was. Per the best information available to us at the time of this report: Some non-native coin examples have been reported. Not closely similar to any other elongated coin, prototype or onstage. Die status is unknown.

DN0015 Sebastian with Band Prototype Pressed Penny. Prototype pressed coin. SEBASTIAN, full body, facing left, claws raised, © DISNEY, DISNEYLAND ® , "e" , dot border. Similar to the onstage DL0125 (click to open the guide) but, with a ring or wire border added at the outside edge of the dot border. The outside line around the coin, just outside the dot border, often called a ring or band makes this an unusual coin. Bands are sometimes seen on Disneyland coins as are dot borders. But this is the only Disney coin we know of that has both. Cool. :-) (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DNP0015.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.)

This die lived on as the DL0039 with a © Disney added. Circa 1995. No stampbacked examples known. (No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) Three of the nine Snow White themed coins are known to have at first, lacked a "© DISNEY". No evidence has been found to support an on-stage appearance of this set. Anecdotal evidence leads to the conclusion that test rolls were made at the park. Possibly the lack of "© DISNEY" was noted and the dies returned to Eurolink to be corrected. Hard to find coins. This die became the DL0039, ergo, the DN0016 has been canceled.

Disneyland "Penny Art" pressed nickels, an interesting, but, hard to find set. Interviews with Cast Members and related research by Robert Hoff of ParkPennies.com support the long held belief that these "Penny Art" dies were engraved as "penny-sized" coin dies in error. A Cast Member that was close to this project at the time, in the mid 1990s, stated that when these dies arrived they were tested in a machine set up and designed, for the first time to "intensionally" press nickels. :-) However, the smaller than expected penny-sized die images which were supplied left an unacceptable blank space at the end of the rolled coin. So, corrected, dies with larger images were ordered before the machine was placed on-stage. The machine when placed onstage became the first Disney coin press in world to press nickels.
Per the best information available to us to date in 2020, less than a dozen "penny art" sets are believed to be in the hands of collectors. (We have seen coins trade hands. But, to the best of our knowledge, no new coins have been offered in many years. Reports of incomplete sets persist. We do not believe an equal numbers of each coin in this set of three were made. Examples are also known to exist on non-native or off-denomination coins such as cents. Die status is unknown. Related: Our scarce or rare Disneyland pressed pennies and elongated coins page.

DN0022 Happy New Year 1996 Santa Mickey Prototype Pressed Nickel. Vertical prototype elongated nickel image. HAPPY NEW YEAR 1996, Santa Mickey, © Disney, e; Disneyland ® Error date. (This 1996 set celebrates the 1997 New Year.) Pictured to the left for comparison, the similar DL0103 which has the corrected date "1997". Circa late 1996. No stampbacked examples known.(No Disney elongated coins pressed before 2004 are known to have stampbacks.) The 1996 New Year date was an easy to make design error. The coin should have read 1997. Well, it was 1996, the first year of a dated Seasonal Nickel Set, and it was New Years... and there wasn't a Happy New Year coin made for 1996... :-) It can happen. ParkPennies.com interviews with Cast Members closely involved in the project at the time confirm that the die was in the Park. However, it never was on-stage, at least as far as anyone can remember or document.

The Union Bank of California pressed penny prototype set of coins were all pressed on a single four image die shaft. Each has a train image that is difficult to recognize. It did not even come close to meeting the high standards of the penny press company that was commissioned to engrave the dies and manufacture the machine. So, a replacement die roll of DL0153-DL0156 was engraved which reduced the focal image to just the locomotive and tender while increasing the image size. The original ring die of four images, used to press the prototype set, was reported around November of 2000 and later confirmed destroyed by the engraver / owner as well as a trusted source. The finished hand crank penny press machine, with the new, corrected dies held a place of honor in the UBOC Bank, Main Street, Disneyland for about two years where UBOC pennies could be pressed for free(!)

LEFT: Side by side comparison of the scarce DN0024 and common DL00153. (Click the thumbnail for a larger image.) As you can see there are many small details that separate these two coin types. Easiest to for me to identify is the banner at the bottom of the design that breaks through the beaded border on the Disneyland DL variety and stops short of the border on the prototype DN variety. All UBOC elongated pennies have no examples with stampbacks are known.

RIGHT: View DL0153 - DL0156 dot placement detail. (Same as DN0024-DN0027) The four coins vended by this four die hand crank penny press were all nearly identical, with the exception of an enlarged dot that was placed differently, sequentially, on each coin in the set.

RIGHT: The DL0156 onstage Union Bank of California pressed penny. An example of the coin that was pressed onstage. The coin pictured was pressed using a pre 1982 solid copper cent. However, the free pennies that were given out to the public were new, copper plated zinc cents. Holders that held the pressed coins, about the size of a business card, were also offered to some guests.

DN0034 Mark Twain Riverboat NO inscription horizontal prototype elongated penny image. DISNEYLAND ® image of a stern wheeler steamboat reminiscent of Disneyland's Mark Twain Riverboat, © DISNEY. NO inscription below the ship, no border, no examples with stampbacks are known. For similar coins with the inscription "MARK TWAINRIVERBOAT" please compare the on-stage DL0249. Based on early coin examples, the penny press machine placed on-stage outside Bonanza Outfitters on 7/16/04, vended the DL0249 coin as the button "C" selection from the very start. However, the original Rivers of America pressed coin machine's marquee displayed this "DN0034 image" and only later a "DL0249 image" as the button "C" selection. So what became of the original coin? According to trusted sources, a die which matched the original DN0034 marquee artwork, was proposed and rejected. Given the original machine marquee was made using the DN0034 artwork, we are told and agree that DN0034 coins must have been pressed as proofs / marquee samples etc. even though the die was later replaced. Therefore, we have reserved elongated coin collection guide number DN0034 for any coins representing this early prototype die. And yes, it appears another Indiana Jones style adventure awaits those seeking this coin. Update: In 2010 confirmation, via scans of this coin, became available to ParkPennies.com readers. If your quest is successful, please do send us a scan of your find. Die status unknown.
