OPEN: Tokyo Disneyland News Archives 2007 +

Tokyo Disneyland souvenir medals, the pressed penny of Tokyo Disneyland, is a quickly growing collectible. ParkPennies.com acknowledges that news from The Tokyo Disneyland Resort deserves its own news page. We hope our readers will find this specialized page helpful as well as our Tokyo Disneyland Guides that feature Tokyo Disneyland pressed souvenirs from 1996 to present.

ParkPennies.com is delighted to welcome Toshihisa UTSUMI , an Advanced Collector of Tokyo Disneyland ® Resort pressed penny souvenirs.
Toshihisa UTSUMI has graciously offered to share his Tokyo Disneyland ® Pressed Penny News with us here at ParkPennies.com. Toshihisa UTSUMI writes exceptionally well in English. The following submissions by Toshihisa are virtually as received. I’m sure I speak for many when I extend our thanks for Toshihisa’s TDL updates.

On April 1, new press machines were added in the following two location in Tokyo DisneySea ® .
"Abu’s Sweets" shop in "Arabian Coast"
"Mermaid Treasures" shop in "Mermaid Lagoon"
The machine in "Abu’s" has Genie, Aladdin and Abu.
The "M. Treasures" machine has Flounder, Ariel and Baby Ariel.
(by UTSUMI)

From April ’05, the Galleria Disney ® coin in Tokyo DisneySea ® is changed every month. In April, it was "Ariel". Now, In May, it is "Genie".No announcement about coins after June. Ariel in April may be for the opening of "Ariel’s Greeting Grotto" on April 17. Genie in May may be for the event "Aladdin’s Whole New World" May 16 through August 31.

On April 15, we were in a panic, because the "M. Treasures" machine was removed and a new single-player machine with only Ariel was put in its place. Cast Members of the shop explained to us "It is temporary for commemoration of the opening of Ariel’s Greeting Grotto". But, there is no announcement when the removed three-player will return. I also missed them....

5/09/05 To our Tokyo Disneyland ® collectors. We are running behind because of the Disneyland ® USA 50th pressed penny set. However, we have the 13 latest Tokyo Disneyland coins here ready to be scanned and listed in the TDL catalogs... It shouldn’t take too much longer. Happy collecting.
5/12/05 Hello to our fellow collectors in Japan! Every month there are more Japanese visitors. Already, Japan has moved up to the second most visitors of all world countries.

If you would like to see an alphabetical list of all visitor homelands, click here.
5/12/05 Nine new pressed souvenirs were added to the DisneySea ® Reference Guides. Four new entries were made to the Tokyo Disneyland ® Guide.
5/16/05 Two new DisneySea ® coins were just released. Both are "Aladdin" themed, one Genie (Horizontal image) horizontal and one (Vertical image) vertical coin for "Aladdin’s Whole New World Event". These coins will be added to the TDS guides as soon as they arrive to the United States for scanning etc.

Click on the small images to see them close up in a top frame or view them in the TDS Tokyo DisneySea ® Guide. The "2005 June" Aladdin first on-stage 6/1/05, represents the third coin in a series of coins that are available for just one month each.
6/18/05 Collectors in the USA would like to trade Disneyland Resort pressed pennies for Tokyo Disneyland Resort pressed souvenirs. If you have access to Tokyo Disneyland coins, and you’re interested in trading, please E-Mail Us

ParkPennies posts a scan of all new TDR coins as soon as they are reported. Often ParkPennies staff is first to report them. However, if you discover a new Tokyo Disneyland Resort pressed souvenir before ParkPennies, please do share your find here with fellow collectors as they have with you. It’s easy, just email a scan to ParkPennies Email. (200 DPI preferred, but not required.) Please include your name so we may give you credit here on this web site for your find.
7/04/05 ParkPennies plans to add scans and descriptions of the 13 newest TDR coins next week. Be sure to check back then.
7/11/05 Pictured above is the latest Tokyo DisneySea Coin of the Month, the July 2005 coin.( Medal )... And the July, 2005 Tokyo Disneyland coin! This is the first "Coin of the Month" for Tokyo Disneyland. Could be the DisneySea Coin of the Month was a big hit and Disneyland Tokyo ran with the idea? No Coin of the Month reported in the USA yet.
Eleven more recently released TDR coins to follow...
7/21/05 ParkPennies received a report that four more TDR pressed coins have been released. We are doing what we can to determine which parks issued the last 15 coins and in what order. Once they can be added to our guides in the correct order, we will update the guides etc. If you can provide a link or have the park and issue order of the last 15 coins, please E-Mail Us. We are trying to sort things out from across the Pacific. Pressed Penny Smiley
7/26/05 ParkPennies has gleamed a preliminary numbering order for the last 15 TDR coins. Most are from DisneySea ® . We hope to confirm the numbers and park assignments before publishing the updated guide. However, the guide will be up this weekend with scans and descriptions even if the numbers are "beta". You are going to love them! Pressed Penny Smiley
7/29/05 13 new coins were added to the TDR guides! Two park guides have new coin entries.

The new coins with close up scans and descriptions can be viewed in the DisneySea ® Reference Guide and the Tokyo Disneyland ® Guide. These catalog numbers are still tentative, but, we didn’t want to delay them any longer. If you see an error, please E-Mail Us. We should have verification or correction of the numbering sequence within a week. (Wish we were as close to Tokyo Disneyland as we are to Disneyland USA. Pressed Penny Smiley )
7/30/05 Avid collector of Disney pressed coins, Thelma Cofrancesco, just reported three new coins at the Tokyo Disneyland Resort Ambassador Hotel.
8/01/05 ParkPennies operatives deeply entrenched behind the high walls and extensive security of The Tokyo Disneyland Resort, have reported two new "Coins of the Month". Details and scans will be posted as soon as we have them.
Some collectors have asked ParkPennies why Tokyo Disneyland doesn’t publicly post new penny and location information. Could it be a conspiracy to secretively channel more visitors here to the ParkPennies TDL News page? Well, we don’t know, but, we ain’t lookin’ a gift horse in the mouth either! Pressed Penny Smiley Happy collecting and check back late this week / next week for listings and scans of the two new August "Coins of the Month" as well as four other recent issues not yet listed in the guides.
8/06/05 Scans of six more Tokyo Disneyland coins will be here as soon as we get Boomer off his "laurels". Pressed Penny Smiley Two of the coins are extra cool!
8/06/05 Here are my favorite two of the group, both "Coin of the Month" beauties!

And, there are still four more on the way. Three of them are only "line art" images and I know they disappoint many ParkPennies readers. But, they do feature Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse and I did say there were four more coins! Matter of fact, if you are a Stitch fan... or even if you are not, the forth coin might just be your favorite!
I’ll have all four coins up on this news page by Monday afternoon, Sunday if I can. See you then.
8/08/05 Made it! Here they are! Should have them in the guides soon. Click on the images you’d like to see close up in a top frame (or new window if you are using the "frameless" option.) The first three are mostly line art engravings, not the favorites of most ParkPennies visitors. But, the forth one, is extra cool and 3-D, full relief engraving! Pressed Penny Smiley

Boomer says, I like all the new TDR coins, even this one!   Mom thinks this baby is beautiful   Well, it's Disney, and I do like Disney!   Now, here is a nicely engraved 3-D image! Click and take a look.
Warning! If you find "line art images" offensive,
please do not click on the first three thumbnail images.

8/14/05 We’ve listed all the Tokyo Disneyland ® Resort "Coins of the Month" on a single page for easy reference. We hope to update this page as new coins are listed. You can open the page by clicking on the link in the sindexlg.gif - 1139 Bytes or by clicking here: TDR Coins of the Month Pictures..
Maybe there will be a Disneyland or WDW "Coin of the Month" if collectors can get a hold of Mickey’s ear? Pressed Penny Smiley .
8/25/05 Boomer is frantically working on an update for the tokyosm.gif - 2237 Bytes Guides. It will include a detailed comparison of a newly discovered vintage Tokyo Disneyland coin and a very similar, long known coin. Do check back tomorrow to view this new entry that has been hiding in plain sight for the past nine years!.
8/26/05 The tokyosm.gif - 2237 Bytes Guides have been updated. New discovery, reported by ParkPennies staff, the TDLVT01 Type II.
8/28/05 Thelma C. just reported another new Vintage Tokyo Disneyland find! Also, an "Undisclosed Collector" has offered yet another! Yes, that’s three new TDL finds over just one week! Nearly as many retired coin discoveries as the total number found over preceding nine years! Yes, they are related finds. Pressed Penny Smiley Updates to follow.....
9/1/05 Noted Disney elongated coin collector, Thelma Cofrancesco, has reported a new vintage TDL find, the TDLVT03 Type II. We’ve updated the tokyosm.gif - 2237 Bytes Guides with scans and a detail comparison of this new discovery with the known TDLVT03 Type I. This is the second coin in what appears will be a set of three! It seems these coins, because they were so close in appearance to the "known" 1996 coins, were overlooked for nearly nine years!
Unless by chance you find that you have these Type I and Type II coins already, they may be hard coins to locate. Especially after all these years. However, Type I coins, are available now.... especially if you have a Type II coin to offer. Hopefully, as collectors evaluate their holdings, some coins may be found and offered via auction or trade. Do Contact Us if you’d like to post a trade or link to an auction of a TDLVT01, TDLVT02 or TDLVT03 Type I or Type II coin. We know collectors will be looking for them, we are! Pressed Penny Smiley Happy Collecting, ParkPennies.
9/3/05 The third shoe drops! First the TDLVT01 Type II then the TDLVT03 Type II and now the TDLVT02 Type II have been reported. The tokyosm.gif - 2237 Bytes Guides are updated with detail 600dpi scan comparisons of Type I / Type II coins, definitions and descriptions! Happy collecting from www.parkpennies.com.
9/08/05 ParkPennies.com is seeking some Tokyo Disneyland medals we missed over the years. If you have any of these coins available for sale or trade, please contact us. We may have coins you are seeking to offer in trade. Happy collecting.
9/13/05 Several small updates and adds to The tokyosm.gif - 2237 Bytes Guides. A few Type II Tokyo Disneyland Coins were reported, all are listed with close up detail comparisons. Also, a few new issues have been added to the Hotels section. Lots more coins on the way. Still nothing to report from Disneyland Anaheim!
We are very grateful for the extra time and effort that Japanese collectors have spent to share their homeland’s Disneyland with us and in our native language no less. I’m sure we speak for many readers when we thank them publicly.
Here is more news from Japan...

Kuniaki Hiraki has been very kind to share Tokyo Disneyland Resort information with ParkPennies.
His Tokyo Disneyland Resort web site is a must see for Tokyo souvenir collectors. (I viewed his web site and asked if I could share the URL.)
Here is a link to the English page. Collectors that can read Japanese or use a web translator will find this link very good also.

Kuniaki Hiraki writes to ParkPennies readers 9/06:
1. Monthly medal in September, TDL was Marie and TDS was Minnie.
2. The 4th anniversary medal of TDS was released on September 04. Though it was regrettable, the commemoration medal of dramatic DisneySea was not released.
3. It was somewhat old information, the Gala 5th anniversary medal of Ambassador Hotel was released on July 01. it was a nickel medal at the beginning, but it has changed to a copper medal on July 06.
Moreover,"A" of an upper placard became blank and medal was out of position in the morning July 01.
In the afternoon medal maker became out of service, and It became normal from July 02.
I have translated my home page into English.

Kuniaki was shy and very modest about his ability to write in English. ParkPennies only wishes we could write Japanese nearly as well as Kuniaki writes English. I’m sure you all find his posts very easily understood and about a very welcome subject.

Kuniaki Hiraki writes to ParkPennies readers 9/12:
Halloween 2005 medal is released at Penny arcade and Starcade in TDL on September 12th

I updated my home page today. I hope you will view it at
link http://torapooh.main.jp/index_e.htm

We thank Kuniaki Hiraki for sharing this news with ParkPennies.com visitors. ParkPennies hopes to post more updates as they are received. (These posts were delayed in error.)
9/18/05 Another "Type II" for TDL collectors! This is one most expected, it’s the third in the Buzz Lightyear set, the TDL0511 T2. The other two Type II coins have already been reported. You can see all of the TDL Type II coins here: Type II Tokyo Disneyland Coins
9/20/05 Below is the September Coins of the Month from Disneyland and DisneySea! Cool! These and five more coins will be added to the Tokyo Reference Guides soon! Now aren’t you glad you checked ParkPennies!? Happy collecting!

10/19/05 Noted collector, Dee just reported yet another "Type II" coin, the TDS0418 T2. Thanks to Dee’s find, The TDS0419 T2 was found by ParkPennies staff. We’re waiting to see who will report a TDS0420 T2 to complete the set first. Pressed Penny Smiley   Very detailed comparisons with extreme close ups can be viewed by clicking on the coins of interest on the Tokyo Variations Index. (This index is also accessible via the main page navigation buttons under Reference Guides, Tokyo Disneyland Resort, Tokyo variations or "Look-Alikes" index.)
10/23/05 A few hundred Tokyo Disneyland Reference Guide scans were upgraded for your viewing pleasure. Pressed Penny Smiley As TDL collectors will note, generally, early coins were smaller both in physical size and image area compared to later issues. Most all images are now standardized at 200 x 400 / 400 x 200 pixels and 200DPI. Additionally, several hard to find coin scans are much sharper, e.g. the three extremely scarce Ambassador prototype coins are now shown by first generation direct scans.
10/25/05 Kuniaki Hiraki has this new report to share from Tokyo Japan.
Two new medals were found on October 20th at TDL
TDL Pooh Corner -- 3 design Pooh, Kanga and Roo, Heffalump
TDL Home Store -- 3 design Mickey, Minnie, Donald

11/14/05 The Coins of the Month page as well as The Tokyo Guides have been updated with more than a dozen more coins! Above are two of my favorites, the November coins of the month. That’s 56 coins issued just at Tokyo Disneyland Park this year! Add 30 new coins at Tokyo DisneySea plus the resort hotels and it’s already 89 coins, plus several planchet type changes (nickel vs. copper) and a few variations. More than 100! Not long ago, that would have been a lot of coins even if issued over a three year period. And there are still more to come this year!

4/07/06 Just in! An update from Kuniaki Hiraki in Tokyo Japan.
Recent event medals are retired at TDR.

On April 04, TDL Disney Princess Days 2006 (TDL0616, TDL0618) were taken off stage and replaced by:
Penny Arcade: Astro Blasters Alien (reissued TDL0422) on April 05.
Starcade: Astro Blasters Buzz Lightyear (reissued TDL0419) on April 05.

On April 04, TDS Rhythms of the World 2006 (TDS0603) was taken off stage and replaced by:
Steamboat Mickey’s: BraviSEAmo! (reissued TDS0414) on April 05.

On April 06, Disney Ambassador Hotel Gala 5TH Anniversary designs (TDR022-024) were taken off stage and replaced by:
Old design three medals (reissued TDR013-015 copper) on April 07.

Kuniaki Hiraki believes the next change may be on April 15. New events will start April 15, at TDL. They are the Lilo and Stitch’s Big Panic and TDL’s 23th Anniversary.
Kuniaki Hiraki’s excellent homepage will be updated today.
4/08/06 Editorial comment: ParkPennies.com agrees with readers that have voiced their objections to the practice of "reissuing" coins months or years after they have been "retired" or taken off-stage. Based on current observations at the Tokyo Disneyland Resort, it appears to us, that the long term values of at least some undated (reusable) TDR medals are, at this time, uncertain.
Not long ago, to the delight of many collectors, Disneyland, USA, began canceling at least some off-stage dies. This was evidenced by Disneyland’s auction of bare, canceled Mulan dies and coins on-line at Disney Auctions. (For substantial prices we might add.) Such a policy, we feel, supports, promotes and reassures the efforts of collectors that have loyally collected elongated coin issues over time as well as encouraging new collectors. We hope this policy will be embraced and expanded by Disney as it has been by many elongated coin professionals for more than 100 years.
4/13/06 The latest three Coins of the Month! (Below) See all the "COM’s" here.

They have become one of the most popular Disney pressed "coin" collector series to date based on ParkPennies.com visitor comments. June coins of the month will be added as soon as we have coins to scan. (Web Masters wishing to use ParkPennies.com scans may do so per the ParkPennies.com Terms of Use.)
6/20/06 June Coins of the Month have been added to the Guides and the Coins of the Month page. You can see a thumbnail of every one of them below.

Our thanks to Knuniaki Hiraki for this very welcome and timely report!
Parkpennies.com staff will now spend a few days in deep reflective depression over the absence of any new coins at Disneyland USA much less "coins of the month". Pressed Penny Sad Smiley Then we will find solace in the fact that TDR does have these great new coins and we will eagerly strive to secure an example of each. Soon after, we will scan them and update the ParkPennies.com Tokyo Disneyland Guides and the Coins of the Month page. Pressed Penny Smiley
Happy collecting!

I have good news and bad news.
