Our thanks to Dee D. for sharing these Disneyland Paris Souvenir Medallion Images from Passion DLP, View Passion DLP's current catalog here.
Dee adds that "Although this does not tell the whole story, what with many different reverses, this pic has all the "medailles" issued to date." I think both this PDF and the web site will be a great help to DLRP Medallion Collectors.
 The well known elongated coin collector, Sandy M., kindly shared her findings back in 2016 while at the Disneyland Resort Paris. Sandy reports that collectable medallions have become very popular at Mickey's Paris home. Sandy offers some great tips for collecting these souvenirs as she writes from Paris: "Okay, here's what I found out. Each machine contains one medallion. Drop in two Euros (one 2E coin or two 1E coins) and the medallion drops out. Your traveling companions will like this development as it's much faster than elongating coins. The machines are in six locations. And I think there are 10 designs total, two of which I didn't get. The designs overlap machines and since they are all minted by Monnaie de Paris, you can probably be assured that there are no slight differences in designs between machines.
Disney Village, 5 machines (see photo), on the right hand side of the street as you approach the plaza between the parks.
1) Star Wars X-Wing Fighter, "STAR TOURS, Disneyland PARIS"
2) Mickey as Sorcerer's Apprentice, "2016, Disneyland PARIS"
3) Remy, Disney/Pixar, RATATOUILLE, DISNEYLAND PARIS"
4) Mickey and Eiffel Tower, "Disneyland PARIS"
5) Mickey and Castle, "Disneyland PARIS"
Disneyland Park, Disneyland Railroad underpass (where you pick up park maps). There are two machines at each end of the underpass (two at the City Hall end on the left, two by the stroller rental end on the right).
1) Star Wars X-Wing Fighter, "STAR TOURS, Disneyland PARIS"
2) Mickey and Castle, "Disneyland PARIS"
3) Mickey and Eiffel Tower, "Disneyland PARIS"
4) Pirate Skull and Crossed Swords, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, Disneyland PARIS"
Disneyland Park, Discovery Arcade (runs behind the Boardwalk Candy shops on the right side of Main Street)
1) sadly, I didn't write it down or take a picture but it was a repeat of another machine
2) sadly, I didn't write it down or take a picture but it was a repeat of another machine
Disneyland Park, Liberty Arcade (runs behind the Emporium shops on the left side of Main Street)
1) Pirate Skull and Crossed Swords, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, Disneyland PARIS"
2) Buzz Lightyear, "DISCOVERYLAND, Disneyland RESORT PARIS"
Disney Studios,Studio Hall, outside Hollywood and Vine gift shop
1) Remy, Disney Pixar, RATATOUILLE, DISNEYLAND PARIS"
Santa Fe Hotel, outside the gift shop
1) Lightning McQueen, "LIGHTYEAR, Disney/PIXAR Cars 2, Disneyland PARIS"
Now, here's the thing. Every cast member you ask will tell you, "Go to stroller rental, all the medallions are there!" And you will go to stroller rental and walk all over the place and find no machines at all. You will think, they must have been talking about the machines in the railroad underpass. Then you will come across a cast member who will tell you to go to Frontierland and Fantasyland for the "cowboy" and "princess" medallions. And you will go, and there will be no machines at all in either of those places. And then you will ask yet another cast member, what is up with you guys sending me to all these places that do not have machines? And he will walk you back to stroller rental and say something in French to the cashier, who will go into a back room and return with one of each of the medallions. "The machines," he'll say, "they break down. So, we sell all of the medallions also from shops. Which ones would you like?" And you will weep softly. But stroller rental will be sold out of one or more of the ones you're missing. So you will buy what you can there and then you walk back to Frontierland and ask the cashier there if they have any medallions in the back room. You will buy what you can there. Then you will walk over to Fantasyland and discover that it is closing early because of the light show. You will go back to the hotel and find an eBay listing from last year that includes an Indiana Jones Temple of Doom (probably the "cowboy") and a Minnie on Lancelot's Carousel (probably the "princess'), and you'll realize you're still missing two.

In 2017, Greg K. writes: "Just got back from Disneyland Paris (6/26/17). The info you had on the "medallions" helped a lot. Just an update ... 8 of the coins / medallions are now at the Stroller Rental. The other 2 are at the Santa Fe Hotel and Star Trader (the shop outside Star Tours). There are a few machines in the "Arcades" along side Main Street, but not all of them (so the Stroller Rental is easier). There are no medallions at Disney Studios." Our thanks to Greg for this update. Happy collecting, Boomer.
Old Boomer at ParkPennies doesn't get out of the house often. But when he does, he's still in Southern California. (At least we hope so, he can be hard to find. :-). So, if you have news about Disneyland Paris pressed coins or medallions, please share.
