DL0153 Retired Horizontal Union Bank of California pressed penny or elongated coin image. DISNEYLAND ® UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, American 4-4-0 steam engine similar to the Lilly Belle, © DISNEY, ribbons with logo above and UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA below, Forth dot to the right of the grip slot’s lower end is larger than the first three. Could be mistaken for the DN0025 prototype. (This Disneyland pressed coin number made with the possibly now canceled #DLP0144.0.0 obverse elongated coin die in its original "0" state / variation, paired with a blank "0" reverse coin die.) A ring die was used to make this set of four UBOC coins. Unlike the segmented coin dies used in most Disneyland Resort pressed coin machines, this single, circular, unsegmented coin die is shared by four separate engravings placed around its circumference.

Detail comparison of UBOC onstage and prototype coins. As you can see, they are very similar. The top coin representative of the prototype variations of the UBOC coins. Most of the engraving is inside the dot border of the coin. This resulted in a loss of detail and a poor quality coin would have been the result. Not something the good folks at The Penny Men accept. So, the coin artwork was reworked by extending the train image past the dot border. A very nice coin was the result as shown with the production or onstage "DL" coin at the bottom.

UBOC border dot placement DL0153-56 / DN0025-28. Dot locations help in attributing the DL0153-56 / DN0025-28 coin sets. The UBOC elongated coins were pressed via a high quality hand crank machine that featured a die roller with four separate engravings. In the case of both the onstage and prototype coins, all four engravings on the die roller were nearly identical, save a larger single dot placed uniquely in the border of each coin as shown in the adjacent picture.

Editor's note: We are often reminded that the preferred numismatic term is "Elongated Coins". However, as the rebellious, risk taking, devil may care ParkPennies.com contributors that we are, temptation often gets the better of us. As a result, you may see the more casual, terms like: stamped coins, pressed coins, pressed nickels, pressed dimes, pressed quarters, smashed pennies, flattened pennies, crushed pennies, squashed pennies, rolled pennies, mashed pennies, stamped pennies, smushed pennies, stretched pennies, memory pennies, keepsake pennies, flattened pennies, and souvenir coin medallions to describe these fun pressed coin souvenirs. :-) Here are some pages about the often asked questions of How many pressed coins are at Disney? and How much do pressed coins cost? Just for fun, here is a page with a bit of a different take on Pressed Coins Facts and Fiction with tips on how different coins press, cool pressed coin jewelry, early penny presses...
