Robert Hoff aka "Boomer" has authored and curated ParkPennies.com content since its first publication in 1997. His first visit to Disneyland in early 1956 began a life-long interest in Disneyland souvenirs. By the 1980s he began collecting Disney pressed coins with family members, Anastasia and Charlotte, aka The Folks at ParkPennies.com. By the early 1990s, fellow collectors encouraged them to share this wonderful hobby via an online spreadsheet. So, Boomer enthusiastically uploaded a crowd-sourced single page listing of all Disneyland Resort pressed coins at a free internet address. Over the next few years, "The List" moved from one URL to another, finally settling at ParkPennies.com as The List's permanent home. (An endeavor in which Boomer's dedication to collecting Disney elongated coins overcame his fear of publicly demonstrating his profound grammatical incompetence and website coding ineptitude.) With the help of fellow collectors, Cast Members, and friends in the industry the hobbyist website has grown year after year.

As many Disney pressed coin collectors know, hunting, trading, and sharing Disney themed coins makes for a wonderful, fun family hobby. We all hope you'll find the ParkPennies Guides and Machine Locations helpful in building your personal elongated coin collections. We also hope that you too will want to share the hobby and this non-commercial, ad-free, ParkPennies.com website with your friends and family. :-)

Like most longtime pressed penny collectors, the Folks at ParkPennies.com look forward to meeting fellow collectors and making new friends... it's one of the best things about the hobby! So, if you spot us at Disneyland, do say "Hi". (Please don't mention how much older Bob (Boomer) looks in person now days. :-) Often we will have a gift souvenir DW0028 ParkPennies pressed coin or key chain for your collection. :-)

Happy collecting, the Folks at ParkPennies.
