Above are four incredibly collectable Cast Member framed 50th Magical Milestone pressed coin sets. The first and forth framed sets feature penny press machine "back art", Disneyland produced art that was visible behind the penny press mechanism, to plus-up and theme the 50th machines. The second and third framed sets feature "Make Your Own Pressed Penny Souvenir" signs that we're told were made by Disney Cast Members as promotional signage for the event, possibly to set atop the 50th penny press machines. First frame has 50th Copper Cents around a Magical Milestones Penny Press Art, the second frame has 50th Pressed Copper Cents around a Disneyland Park Magical Milestones Sign, the third frame has 50th Pressed Nickels around a Disneyland Park Magical Milestones Sign  and the forth frame has 50th Steel Cents around a Magical Milestones Penny Press Art.

The Disneyland Magical Milestones 50th Anniversary Pressed Penny Set makes for a very exceptional collection. It commemorates Disneyland’s 50th Golden Anniversary and features 51 matching pressed pennies, each depicting one Magical Milestone year from 1955 through 2005, plus a matching Cast Member issue. We believe this very successful collection was the inspiration for the 60th Diamond Celebration Anniversary pressed coin collection.

The full set of 51 Magical Milestones 50th Anniversary pressed coins was vended from 17 penny press machines on-stage throughout the Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California from May 4, 2005 until the night of October 1, 2006. More than one trusted source has reported to ParkPennies.com the coin dies were canceled as of late 2006.

Because of their significance, these coins have been cross-referenced in this section with special reference numbers prefixed by "DG" for Disneyland’s Golden Anniversary followed by the year they commemorate, in addition to their customary collection guide numbers and guide listings in the standard DL, CA, and DR Penny Collection Guides.

Magical Milestone "pressed pennies" are also known to have been pressed for Cast Members as special gifts or awards on steel cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and tokens in limited numbers. (Please view the framed sets links for more information.)

About the Cast Blast coin pictured here... often thought of as the fifty-second coin in the Magical Milestones set. Our guide description is "CAST BLAST, Disneyland 50th Logo, HAPPIEST EVENT ON EARTH 2005, © DISNEY. Dot border, "e" for Eurolink Design Corporation replaces the dot nearest the center of the gripper slot." Coins were only available at the Cast Blast Expo on 3/1/05. Only one coin was issued per each Cast Member’s coupon. A total of 7,500 coins were made to order by Eurolink. All coins are believed to have been pressed on uncirculated zinc cents. There was no penny press machine at the event. Addition 3/16/05: Some of the remaining coins were distributed after the event at the Disney Team Center. Read the ParkPennies.com article about the coin on the Cast Member2005 Cast Blast Coin Detail Page.
