12/27/2023ZZZCoins.com has just announced their new 2024 coin, the forth in the series. This year's coin, the DT0033, features the Disney PeopleMover with a custom ZZZCoins.com backstamp / reverse and is currently available from their website pressed on cent, with a very limited number pressed nickel, dime and quarter offered. Happy collecting and Happy New Year, Boomer.
12/26/2023 The longtime contributors to ParkPennies.com, Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) and Alex D. have shared reports that The Star Wars Trading Post, Downtown Disney, Star Wars Mandalorian medallion set, #14-17 was is back onstage! The Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallions #62-65 that had been at that location, are rumored to have moved to replace the sold out Star Wars themed medallion set #26-29, which had been located at the exit to the Space Mountain attraction. Boomer will be double checking his take on this very confusing update. If there are any corrections, we will post here. Some images, courtesy of Kelly B., have been added to the Disneyland Medallions Guide. More images are expected later this week. Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/26/2023 There have been reports that a previously known medallion machine has been moved to a new location. We will post an update as soon as we have pictures etc. Best of the Season and Happy Collecting, Boomer.
12/23/2023 Our thanks again to fellow collector Les H. for sharing yet more smiles for the Holiday Edition jokes page. Happy Holidays and happy collecting, Boomer and the folks at ParkPennies.com.
12/17/2023UPDATED LATE 12/17/2023: A newly issued Cast Member pressed coin has just been reported! The new coin is listed as the DS0024 Disneyland Arcade Shop Merry Christmas 2023 pressed token. As many readers know, the "DS Guide coins" are made on property at the Disneyland Resort by Disneyland Cast Members for Disneyland Cast Members. They are never onstage and are often very hard to acquire. In the past they have sometimes been offered by an estate or gifted by a Cast Member to a relative or friend... It has been a long time since a new "DS" coin has been reported. Ol' Boomer couldn't wait to share the news! Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/16/2023 Our thanks to fellow collector Les H. for sharing some Holiday Smiles with us. Happy collecting, Boomer
12/14/2023Happy Holidays and the Best of the Season to all! From the folks at ParkPennies.com, Bob, Charlotte and Anastasia.
12/11/2023Kelly B., Mike R. and other collectors have noted a newly placed "While Supplies Last" sticker on some Disneyland Resort Medallion Machines. Maybe some new medallions are on the way? Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/07/2023 We updated the Disneyland Resort Medallion Images Guide page. (It's the page to bookmark.) Now there are links at the bottom of each medallion image which will open the related guide page. (You may still click on the small medallion image to open a larger image in a new window.) It's easy to view all the medallions on a single page and then if you'd like more information, just click a link to open the related guide page. There we have the details shared by fellow ParkPennies.com visitors, onstage and offstage dates, the original machine locations, images of the machine, marquee etc. enjoy! The ParkPennies Pressed Coin and Medallion location page has locations and descriptions of all the medallions currently onstage. PS We've done a lot behind the scenes re-writing of the website lately. Do let me know if / when you find a bug or would like to suggest an edit or feature. Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/04/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for reporting a new 2024 Medallion collection book. We will be adding this specialized medallion book to the guides soon. Happy collecting, Boomer
12/03/2023Paul D Green just released a great Disneyland pressed coin and medallion video. It is a very professional video taking us with him on a visit to the Disneyland Park in a search for the many medallion and pressed coin machines there. Do check it out. If you are not yet subscribed to Paul's YouTube Channel, please do and check out his diverse past videos as well. Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/01/2023 No word of new medallions or pressed coins so far. Happy collecting, Boomer
11/10/2023 Our thanks to Alex L. in Hong Kong for his help with new images of the new Frozen HKDL2314-16 magical coin machine and marquee. (Last month, I confused a new image of an onstage 2014 Frozen penny press with the recently placed 2023 Frozen machine. All is correct now, with newly added images of both the 2014 machine and 2023 machine. Happy collecting, Boomer.
10/27/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. for sharing images of the newest Disneyland Resort medallion machine #23. This new Disney California Adventure machine offers four Magic Key themed medallions with images of a Castle, Pixar Pal-A-Round, Walt and Mickey Partners, and the classic Disneyland Sign. View a snapshot of the four Magic Key Medallions. We hope to have medallion images and descriptions added to the Disneyland Resort Medallions Guide soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
10/26/2023 Our thanks to the ParkPennies readersKelly B., Alex D., Mike R... who reported a new set of Disneyland Resort medallions today. This set of four Magic Key Passholder themed medallions (not Disney 100 themed medallions) will be available at the Magic Key Terrace in Disney California Adventure Park starting on 10/27/2023. For conditions and requirements, please read the official Instagram post by disneylandmagickey:"Attention medallion collectors!! Starting October 27, 2023 a new medallion machine will be available at the Magic Key Terrace in Disney California Adventure Park, featuring four new medallions specially designed for Magic Key holders. Available for purchase during Magic Key Terrace's regular operating hours. Must be dining at the lounge to access the machine (Magic Key Terrace dining reservations are recommended). Designs are subject to availability and may vary. Discounts do not apply. Subject to change or cancellation without notice. Both a park reservation and valid admission are required for park entry." Well, if collecting was easy, it wouldn't be fun... or so I keep telling myself. :-) We hope to have images, guide descriptions etc. soon. The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated. [This post was extensively edited 10/27/2023 to remove some confusion and add different confusion. %-)] Happy collecting, Boomer
10/24/2023 Our thanks to Clinton N. for reporting a new location for the Remy, Colette & Linguini, Ratatouille Logo and the Bellman Mickey, Goofy's Kitchen, Goofy and Stitch (DR0130-132 and DR0150-152) pressed penny machines. They have moved from the location near Goofy's Kitchen to the lobby area of the Disneyland Hotel Fantasy Tower, adjacent to the Fantasia Gift Shop and near the model cruise ship. The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated. Happy collecting, Boomer.
10/21/2023 Our thanks to fellow collector and longtime contributor to ParkPennies.com, Jeremy H. for sharing with us some excellent images he recently took at the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and at the Tokyo Disneyland Resort. Pictures from this collection of more than 200 images will be appearing in the ParkPennies guides over the upcoming weeks. Happy collecting, Boomer
10/15/2023 We have added several more machine and marquee images to the guides and more are in the queue, courtesy of the Wooten family. Happy collecting, Boomer.
09/14/2023 Our thanks to Alex D. and Kelly B. for reporting a new location for the CA0238-40 Capt. America, Black Widow and SPIDER-MAN pressed quarter machine which has moved from the Avengers Superstore location to Gone Hollywood. We've already updated the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page. Happy collecting, Boomer.
09/06/2023 Our thanks to a fellow collector who reported that a few medallions at the Disneyland Resort had changed. Another trusted source confirmed that a few out of stock medallions were temporarily substituted and all should be back to normal by now. However, if you purchased medallions on or around September 5th, especially at the World of Disney, do double check your purchases. Happy collecting, Boomer
08/29/2023 Our thanks again to the Wooten Family. This time for this week's generous donation of Disneyland images dating as far back as the 1960s! We look forward to sharing select, relevant pictures from this nostalgic collection with you, courtesy of the Wootens. Happy Collecting! Boomer.
08/27/2023 Our thanks to Alex L. in Hong Kong for reporting two new machines at the Hollywood Hotel, Hong Kong Disneyland... and for sharing his excellent images. View the HKDL Magical Coin Guide with guide numbers and machine images. (Updates to follow.) Happy collecting, Boomer.
8/15/2023 With thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) the ParkPennies.com The Disney 100 Years of Wonder Medallions Guide has been updated with medallions from the latest five machines. Hopefully of interest to collectors, we also have a single page with just the images of ALL the Disneyland Resort medallions ever issued. The retired medallions are flagged with a gray background and there are links to in depth guide listings including marquee and machine images at the bottom of the page. There are still some bugs... of course... :-) Please email Boomer if, when you spot a typo etc. The page is new and I wanted to upload it ASAP for visitors who have asked about it... repeatedly! :-) Happy collecting, Boomer.
08/09/2023: With great sadness, today I heard that Bill Hogarth passed away on August 4, 2023 with family near at the age of 90. As many of us know, Bill was a great friend to many of us collectors as well as a champion of the hobby from its very start back in 1987. I know I speak for many of us when I say we will miss you Bill. I will update Bill's page over the next week or so. Boomer.
08/02/2023: Our thanks to Jeremy M. for reporting that the Disneyland Resort recently updated the silver Spira gift token packaging. Although the token itself is unchanged, the 2023 sleeve in Aurebesh now reads "may you have the better hand". (The original inscription read "may your deals go well".) Our thanks to Jeremy M. for also translating the Aurebesh. We hope to add an image of the new Spira token envelope soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
07/22/2023 We added links in the ParkPennies Disneyland 100 Years of Wonder pressed penny and medallion guides to two of DavidsCoinTravels excellent videos:Disneyland 100th Medallions Set | Complete Guide and Disneyland 100th Pressed Penny Set | Complete Guide. These videos document a moment in time / history for pressed penny and medallion collectors as though we visiting the park and the machines. I think they are a great complement to the ParkPennies Disney 100 reference guides and worthy of sharing with ParkPennies Disneyland 100 Years of Wonder pressed coin and medallion collectors. Happy collecting, Boomer
07/16/2023 You may have noticed some newly added guide notes, history and images. Some vague estimates of onstage and offstage dates are being refined and images are being added or improved. All thanks to thenotes and pictures donated Wooten Family. The Disneyland Park Guide is about half-way done. The Resort Hotels and Downtown Disney Guides will follow. This project will take some time, but will be well worth it for those of us who reference these guides now and in the future. Happy collecting, Boomer.
07/03/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for her report and images of a new Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye themed set of three pressed pennies in the Rajah's Mint penny press, at the Adventureland Bazaar, Disneyland Resort, Anaheim. Guide numbers are DL0784, DL0785 and DL0786 which replaced the DL0648-50 Indiana Jones set at the same location. %-) The designs feature A. Indy chased by boulder, B. "Eyes of Mara" and C. Indiana Jones cracking a whip. All coins in this set include a new backstamp design, a stylized "ADVENTURELAND". etc. More stuff here soon. :-) The Disneyland Park Pressed Coins Guide will be updated soon. The new format, larger print two-page Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated with this new pressed coin machine set. Happy Collecting, Boomer
06/30/2023 Our thanks to the well-known ParkPennies contributor, Dee D. for reporting Taiwan's Formosa Express 100th Anniversary Pressed Souvenirs! This two machine set features Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Chip 'N Dale, Donald Duck, Dumbo Stitch, Aerial and Marie. Happy collecting! Boomer.
06/21/2023 Dozens of early Disneyland penny press and marquee images have already been added to the guide pages thanks to the Wooten Family. The awesome Wooten collection of Disneyland coin press machine images is strongest over the years where the ParkPennies guides were weakest. (1987-2005) More of these most welcome images will be added over time. Boomer will probably add more errors too. :-) So, do let us know if you spot any errors or have any content you'd like to add to this "by collectors for collectors" reference site. Happy collecting, Boomer.
06/14/2023 We are most grateful for a very generous donation by the Wooten Family. As longtime collectors may know, Nancy, John and Wendy Wooten, over many dedicated years, gathered an amazing collection of elongated coins which included a significant number of notable Disneyland pressed coin related documents, notes, guides, images, coins, and other items. Of course, Nancy had shared her extensive knowledge and insights with ParkPennies visitors since the start in the 1990s. However, the addition of these most welcome items will provide even more and better images, expanded details and history. The images and documents will be shared and preserved here for collectors today and in the future. We have added a few new and / or improved images already and will provide a listing of *some* of the more significant updates on the Change Log in the future. Happy Collecting! Boomer.
5/29/2023 Our thanks to several Disneyland pressed coin collectors for confirming that the CA0223-225 Star Wars Classic Quarter Press Machine is now off-stage. Given recent events, we have marked the guide listings as "Provisionally Retired" for the time being. The CA0232-234 Star Wars Classic Quarter Press Machine (Star Wars YODA, Star Wars Princess LEIA and Vader "I am your FATHER") is still available. As you can see, in the updated Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page (PDF) the number of "press you own coin machines is dwindling. Don't delay if you wish to add these coins to your collection. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/26/2023 Please check our ParkPennies.com FaceBook Page or contact Boomer for news if www.ParkPennies.com is down or out of date. We may have some software and / or server (Adobe / Godaddy) "challenges" in June 2023. [Update 6/2/2023: Issues have been resolved.] Boomer
05/20/2023 Our thanks to Randy K. and Chris E. for helping rid these pages of some typos. Yes, I know typos on ParkPennies.com? :-) Do contact Boomer if you spot an error, typo or have something to add to a guide or article. ParkPennies is by collectors and for collectors, your comments are always most welcome. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/11/2023 Although Disneyland Resort medallions are still a new collectible at the park, some have already been taken offstage. But, the good news is that because these are still relatively new collectibles, most all of them are still available onstage at the Disneyland Resort or from fellow collectors and resellers. Matter of fact, all Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallions are still currently onstage, except for the two error medallions. For collectors who wish to collect these fun souvenirs, here is a page with images of all Disneyland Resort medallions ever issued including error medallions. (Medallions that have been taken offstage and may not return have a gray background.) For machine descriptions and locations, please download the new format, larger print two-page Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page (PDF) featuring machine locations and descriptions of all pressed coins on page one and of all medallion machines on page two. Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/06/2023 - 5/09/2023 Some have asked about the latest Mandalorian medallions, Boba Fett, Grogu, Bo-Katan Kryze & Cad Bane. Now, given Boomer has trouble telling Mickey from Donald... and given Boomer's failing eyesight... is he sure the first medallion in this set is Boba Fett and not Cobb Vanth?? Well, no he's not! The dent in the helmet identifies Boba's armor... we thought Boba was dead... but then Cobb Vanth was wearing Boba's armor and Boba was found alive... then... Well, Mickey has big ears and Donald has a bill, but Boba and Cobb? Boomer melt down! As always your help in the positive identification of the character pictured on the Disneyland Resort #62 medallion is most welcome. Click this link to email Boomer. [Update 5/09/2023: Several welcome comments were received representing both Star Wars Fans as well as one "investigative report" quoting a person in the industry. The consensus favors Boba Fett as the intended subject of the DRM0062 medallion. So, he will hold the title unless / until facts supporting a change are submitted and confirmed.] Happy collecting, Boomer and the folks at ParkPennies.com.
04/21/2023 A new format, larger print two-page Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been uploaded. My thanks to the well-known collector that thankfully brought to my attention the very small font size. (As more and more locations were added, the print kept scaling smaller and smaller. :-( But, this new format offers larger print plus a dedicated page for pressed coins and for medallions. The links, file locations, printing, viewing, etc. are unchanged. Enjoy! Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/19/2023 ANOTHER NEW Penny Press! Yes, Kelly B. found this one also. %-) Join her FB Group here: Pressed Penny Exchange. The latest find is an eight design Disney 100 Years of Wonder penny press machine that has taken the place of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout! Pressed Coin Set CA0279, CA0280 and CA0281. The old machine will be noted as offstage and probably changed to "retired" as soon as confirmed. But, as we say farewell to a three-design machine, we are greeting a new eight play Guardians of the Galaxy CA0291-298 machine! The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page is already updated, the Disney California Adventure Pressed Coin Guide and Disney 100 Years of Wonder Pressed Coin Guide will be updated soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/19/2023 NEW Penny Press! Our thanks to Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) for being the first to report and to send images of this new machine. The DL0776-783 eight-design vending-style penny press dispenses nice classic character themed Disney 100 Years of Wonder designs at the Main Street Penny Arcade. We have already updated the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page. The Disneyland Park Pressed Coin Guide and Disney 100 Years of Wonder Pressed Coin Guide will be updated soon. Kelly B. also noticed that The Walt's Quotes, DL0660-662 quarter press machine was offstage and the DL0669-671 Mary Poppins three-play pressed penny machine are missing. Maybe they are retired. We will note the guides and probably change the status of these two machines when confirmed. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/17/2023 Kelly B. reports that the Splash Mountain penny press, previously located in the exit to Splash Mountain, has been moved to the boardwalk in front of Pooh Corner. Also that one of the Pooh Corner machines which was located in that same area, has been moved. -Updates to follow. We have updated the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/17/2023 Our thanks to Kelly B. for her amazing help with the latest CA0288, CA0289 and CA0290 and continuing help researching the Finding Dory set. If you would like to acquire these coins for your collection, do contact Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/17/2023 Our thanks to Michael H. for sharing his extensive comparison of the CA0217-219 pre-conversion pressed coins and the early post-conversion coins. I hope to have samples of the current Finding Dory pressed coins soon and will post the findings shortly after. Happy collecting, Boomer.
04/16/2023 Our thanks to Jeremy H. for being the first to report a new Disney California Adventure Disney 100 Years pressed penny set, the CA0288, CA0289 and CA0290 at Kingswell Camera and also for sharing images of the machine, marquee etc. Given the changes in the machines, there may have also been a slight change in the CA0217-219 Finding Dory pressed penny set designs / backstamps. [Edit 4/16: Over the years cabinets have changed and sets moved. Since 1-13-2021, the Finding Dory set has been inside Trolley Treats in the cabinet that last held the CA0265-267 2020 annual nickel set, not the cabinet that originally held the CA0217-219 Dory set. Recently there have been rumors that support a comparison of the current Finding Dory pressed coins with the originals for any possible change.] Updates to follow as the plot thickens! :-) The handy Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated and can be downloaded, printed before you go to the park or checked real-time while you are in the park via phone etc. Updates to the Disney California Adventure Pressed Coins Guide will follow. Happy collecting, Boomer
04/14/2023 Our thanks and the Eagle Eye Award :-) goes to the longtime Disneyland pressed coin collector, Delores N. for reporting a typo today. (Now corrected. :-) We very much appreciate your help by reporting any typos in grammar or programing. Happy collecting, Boomer
04/13/2023David's Coin Travels on YouTube has an interesting video today about Digital Pressed Pennies. Is it the future? Happy collecting, Boomer.
03/22/2023 Updated the Jokes Page... Update 3/24/2023 a fellow ParkPennies visitor, in sympathy for the plight of our jokes page, shared some new jokes. :-)
03/22/2023Added six business cards to the Honorable Mention page that did not qualify for addition to the Disneyland Wannabe Guide. But deserve honorable mention as elongated coin business cards of people who support the hobby of collecting Disney pressed coins. Have an elongated coin business card that isn't already listed in a guide? Let Boomer know. Happy collecting, Boomer.
03/22/2023 Added the Wooten's 50 years of rolling together pressed coin to the Nancy Wooten Tribute page.
03/21/2023 Our thanks to the well-known collector, Dee D. for sharing a really fun coin. After much detective work, Dee found and acquired an example of The Donald Dack pressed coin apparently made by a European fan trying to emulate Disney stuff. :-) Yes, Donald Dack is now a proud member of our collection of pressed coins with Disney spirit / honorable mention. (There are lots of other spelling errors on this website, but I did those. :-) Happy collecting, Boomer
03/19/2023 Don Cade put on an fantastic So Cal Coin Meet 2023 yesterday! Lots of great people sharing the hobby... The weather was perfect in the mid-70s, clear skies. The location was excellent with ample tables, shade and a lake view. Don also hosted a great lunch plus snacks, beverages... Needless to say, there was a good amount of pressed coin trading, buying, selling and story telling going on that lasted for hours. (Yes, Boomer was a contributor to the story telling, but by far not the only one! :-) About mid-meet Don made a surprise presentation of an amazing gift to "Boomer". It is a framed set of "Thank You Boomer" pressed coins including a coin die engraved "Thank you Boomer from the Parkpennies.com visitors and Disneyland Elongated Collectors" with example pressed coins (both canceled Thank You Boomer and not canceled Thank You Boomer pressed coins) over a plaque that reads "Presented to Boomer, March 18, 2023, from the parkpennies.com visitors". Accompanied by an extensive set of coins pressed on the coin die as well as SoCal Coin Meet 2023 TEC coins. There are no words to describe how surprised I was and how honored I feel. Thank you to Don Cade, Jim McNally and all fellow collectors that were part of this very special gesture. I probably should say how humbled I am... But, I am so dang proud of this fantastic gift that I am going to be bragging it up to everyone, as you can see! :-) Additionally, Don gave all attendees of the meet a gift pack. The pack included a sample of the very limited canceled and uncanceled "Boomer" DT0031 coin pressed on Ecuador 100 Sucres coins, a SoCal Coin Meet 2023 TEC pressed on an Ecuador 100 Sucres coin, a Mini TEC Meet pressed penny, a ZZZCOINS.com DT0019 pressed penny, a Tyler Tyson, TEC President wooden nickel and a classic "TEC Lucky Join Today" pressed penny. Not already a member of TEC?
For more information visit TEC The Elongated Collectors Web site. Thank you all so much for sharing this wonderful hobby of collecting Disney pressed coins and... for visiting ParkPennies over the past 25 years. Very Happy Collecting, Boomer.

Southern California "Meets" have been a wonderful part of the hobby for many years. Don't miss out! RSVP with Don. Happy collecting, Boomer
03/02/2023 Our thanks to Paul G. for his help with the DRM0014 description which, with his help, we corrected / updated today. There are lots of new listing recently. As always, we welcome your suggestions, edits, additions... ParkPennies is of course by collectors and for collectors. Happy collecting, Boomer

02/21/2023 Our thanks to April S. for catching a typo, an embarrassing typo. :-) Happy collecting, Boomer
02/20/2023 Added a guide page just for Disney 100 Years of Wonder pressed coins. This is a guide page exclusively for collectors of Disney100 coins with listings of all Disney100 pressed coins in one place. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/19/2023 Our thanks to Jeremy H. for his recon :-) of the Disneyland Resort and for sharing some great pictures. Happy Collecting, Boomer
02/19/2023 As avid Disney 100 Years of Wonder medallion collectors are aware, so far there are two "Key" error medallions. They were placed onstage and then replaced by corrected versions. Of course, ParkPennies has comparison images of the four tokens, the original error medallions and their replacements. Here are the link to the DRM0030/DRM0030A error Steamboat Mickey and the corrected version and here is a link to the DRM0047 / DRM0047A error Lilo and Stitch and the corrected design. These medallions were the original onstage versions and only onstage for a week or so. But, they can still be found for sale online and via some collectors on FaceBook. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/18/2023 Our thanks to Alex L. in Hong Kong for sharing a new pressed coin at Hong Kong Disneyland! The guide number is HKDL2304 and it will be added to the Hong Kong Disneyland Magical Coins Guide soon. Happy collecting, Boomer.
02/08/2023So Cal Coin Meet 2023! Our thanks to longtime elongated coin collector, roller and TEC Member... Don C. who has set up the SoCal Coin Meet 2023 for noon Saturday, March 18th at Yorba Regional Park, Anaheim, CA! Southern California "Meets" have been a wonderful part of the hobby for many years. Don't miss out! RSVP with Don. Happy collecting, Boomer
02/05/2023 Special thanks to Kelly B. for some amazing pictures and scans. Many of them are in the Disney 100 Years of Wonder Medallion Guide. By the way, do check out her FaceBook Group, Pressed Penny Exchange. Lots of pressed coin news, sales and trading going on there! Happy collecting, Boomer
02/04/2023 The Disney 100 Years of Wonder Medallion Guide is online. It's a mess and not polished yet, but why single out that one ParkPennies page? LOL. If you are collecting DLR medallions, we hope it will be a help. The guide covers 44 new medallions, 11 new machines, marquee images... Our thanks to Kelly B. , Kathy B., Ricky K., Jess T., Alex D. for images, scans and reports. Most rumors suggest more medallions and pressed coins are on the way. Check back often, we will post updates first on this news page. Don't forget the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page if you are going to or at the park. Happy collecting, Boomer.
01/29/2023 The Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page has been updated with descriptions and locations of all Disneyland Resort medallion and coin press machines. I'm also writing up a dedicated Disney100 Year of Wonder Medallion Guide page that will be uploaded soon. For now, the Marquees and locations page offers small marquees that if clicked will open much larger marquee images with detailed medallion art for each location. Currently there are 12 medallion machines onstage. Eleven of them, 44 medallions, are new and themed Disney100 Years of Wonder.
The Pieces of Eight Pirate medallion set, The Main Street Penny Arcade Electrical Parade medallion set, and the Tomorrowland Attractions medallion set are all "off-stage". Some sources have rumored that these "retired" medallions *may* return after the Disney100 event has concluded, in maybe 18 months. As of 1/29/2023 the Star Wars set, guide numbers 14-17, is the only "original" medallion set still onstage. (View Disneyland Resort medallions in The Medallion Guide.) Updates to follow. If you spot a new machine, email Boomer. Happy collecting!
01/28/2023 Several ParkPennies visitors have mentioned that some medallion machines are out of order or out of medallions. Disneyland Cast Members do not service these machines. I'm guessing that whoever does support these machines is swamped and will eventually catch up. Happy collecting Boomer.
01/27/2023THREE MORE Medallion machines! Kelly B. (Pressed Penny Exchange on FaceBook, Scrapbooker23 on eBay) reports that there are another three medallion machines... one in each hotel! Updates to follow. Happy collecting, Boomer
01/27/2023EIGHT Medallion machines have been reported so far today. It will take some time to catch up with the guide listings and scans. But, we have the Disneyland Pressed Coin and Medallion Machine Location Page DRAFT COPY. Probably not yet complete or completely accurate. But, should be of help at the park. I would like to thank Kelly B. , Kathy B., Ricky K., Jess T., Alex D. and others for a massive number of new medallion machine reports and images. I'll sort them out a bit more overnight and post them tomorrow. But, for now here are some of the Marquees and locations, click on the marquee images to see larger images. NOTE: It was reported that the medallion machines were not accepting credit card payment today. My speculation is that the machines were not yet fully connected for payment processing. Hopefully this will be corrected soon. You may wish to bring cash to be on the safe side. Prices for at least some of the new medallions have increased to $6. each or $20.00 for four. Updates to follow. Happy collecting, Boomer
1/27/2023 100 Years medallion machine report and images courtesy of longtime collector and contributor to ParkPennies, Ricky K. This new machine is located at the Kingswell Camera Shop in Disney California Adventure. The seasonal penny press is missing. We will add scans of the new medallions to the Disneyland Resort Vended Medallions Guide soon. (For now, you may click the link to the Medallion Guide and then the click the marquee pictured there to see the medallion designs in close-up.) Updates to follow. Happy Collecting, Boomer.

01/14/2023 ParkPennies rumors state that there will be a new medallion vending machine planned as part of the San Fransokyo overlay in Disney California Adventure. We look forward to the first reports of the new machine and others that are already in the works. To view all the medallion vending machines currently at the Disneyland Resort and their locations, we offer the Disneyland Area Pressed Coin and Medallion Machines Location Page and for a listing, pictures and descriptions of all vending machine medallions ever issued at the DLR, we offer the ParkPennies Medallions Guide. Happy collecting, Boomer.
