Some onstage Disneyland pressed pennies now feature a script "D" for Disneyland! ParkPennies.com readers may recall that the "D" was first noticed replacing the Eurolink "e" on special event dies, engraved inside the park by Disneyland Cast Members. Now even some onstage coins feature this new initial. Rumors suggest that this change is evidence of Disneyland's efforts to return to the "Disney quality" of engraving that has set Disneyland elongated coins apart from "less artistic" pressed pennies.
As collectors and guests have mentioned to ParkPennies.com over the past couple of years, some Eurolink dies appear to have been engraved by a CNC machine rather than the talented hand of Mr. Jimmy Vargas, the well respected engraver for Eurolink Design Inc. We are very happy to see that the Finding Nemo replacement set, DL0477-479 pictured below, features good quality "three dimensional engraving" (high relief devices) ... Thankfully not the controversial, poor quality CNC engraving that has snuck into Disneyland here and there. Still, given Disneyland isn't just any amusement park, we'll side with ParkPennies.com visitors that hope the artistry of Mr. Vargas will eventually return full time to Disneyland elongated coins. (Pictured to the left: New "D" for Disneyland! )
Happy Collecting, Boomer

Disneyland's first and only hand crank coin press was briefly placed onstage February 6, 2012. No other hand crank machine was ever placed inside Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure. There were a few hand crank machines placed outside the gates of the parks in Downtown Disney by an outside company or around the Disneyland Hotel back in the days when it was owned by the Wrather Corp. However since 1987, this DL0477-DL0479 people-powered presser has been the first, last and only true Disneyland hand crank penny press. Given Disneyland Resort coin press machines were reportedly turned over to an outside company with many changes taking place post pandemic in 2021, we feel it is unlikely that future guests will ever see a hand cranked penny press like this one. (Unless of course they are browsing ParkPennies.com. :-) Happy Collecting, Boomer.

NOTE: You may have noticed that because reverse "dies" and coin dies are different in many ways, they are treated differently here at ParkPennies. Guides confirm that unlike coin dies, reverse “dies” often share a single design / artwork "type" pressed onto the reverse of many different elongated coins. When these reverse "dies" are compared to others of the same design "type", often there are slight differences as each is etched or engraved individually. To mix things up even more, it is possible for a set of three nearly identical reverse "dies" engraved on a back shaft and paired with particular coin dies, to be accidentally or intentionally rotated when the penny press mechanism is serviced or repaired. And even more permutations are introduced if a replacement back shaft is installed with facsimiles of the original reverse engravings. Lastly, reverse engravings are also prone to change in appearance over time as they wear, "sink" etc., which can add variations to the same back stamp engravings over time. As you can see, these reverse characteristics could make for a lot of “different” stampbacks of the same design "type". Therefore, our guide attributions give small design variations or changes less weight when observed in reverse "dies" vs. obverse coin dies. A good example would be the many 50th Anniversary stampbacks. There are as many individual reverse "dies" or engravings as there are coins in the 50th set, each with slight variances in placement, depth, and texture. Yet all share the same artwork / design, i.e. without intentional differences in design, and are considered one “generic type” for the purposes of listing in this guide.

Given this coin die, in any variation, has not returned to the Starcade or any other location in the park in months we believe, based on a preponderance of the evidence, they ain't coming back. Therefore, we have noted them as retired in February of 2015. Reverse: DISNEYLAND ® RESORT, LIGHT CYCLE. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DLP0444.1.1 obverse elongated coin die in the first modification or "1" state / variation after the "heavier wire border" was added, paired with this coin's "1" or first reverse coin die, DISNEYLAND ® RESORT, LIGHT CYCLE.) Originally located at Main Street Penny Arcade. This was one of the machines that was removed from the Main Street Penny Arcade when the arcade was remodeled in 2011-2012. From around 5/14/2012 to 10/14/2012, it was relocated at the Starcade in the same location that had been briefly occupied by the Nemo hand crank penny press. Button "C". After a long absence, this machine returned to the Starcade on 5/1/2013 as one of the first three Disney token press machines in the USA. A remodel of the Starcade removed all penny press machines and walled off the arcade in early February 2015. Given this coin die, in any variation, has not returned to the Starcade or any other location in the park in months we believe, based on a preponderance of the evidence, they ain't coming back. Therefore, we have noted them as retired in February of 2015. Larger pressed penny image in frame or window # 1   2   3

Tron Light Cycle, small Disney logo, TRON LEGACY, © DISNEY, with a "D" for Disneyland near the top center of the wire border. First on-stage 05/20/11 as guide number DL0501(p). The machine was offstage for a short time while the coin die's grip or "notch" was enlarged and returned to stage as the DL0501a(p) on 10/19/2011. After a long absence, this machine returned on 5/1/2013 as one of the first three Disney coin presses modified to press game tokens in the USA as coin number DL0501at. Cents could no longer be pressed. Then, on August 21, 2013 this machine began pressing pennies again as the DL0501a(p). (The DL0501a(p) and DL0501at share the same obverse and reverse coin dies. Their engraved images are the same, only the coins / tokens they press are different.) On about 8/22/13 this token press was returned to a penny press using tokens only for payment. The previous elongated cent guide number, DL0501a, will apply. Reverse: DISNEYLAND ® RESORT, LIGHT CYCLE.
