BK.DL.1stEd.jpg DISNEY PRESSED COIN BOOKS BK2022.jpg

 

In perhaps rough reverse chronological order, here are the Disney pressed coin books I have collected over the years (plus some I have not obtained).  As you may be aware, the Disney company does not generally put copyright dates on its theme park souvenirs, so it is difficult to say when each of these was available.  I have added some notes for recent ones, though.

 

Prices: books can span several years and several price hikes.  I have tried to be as precise as possible, often basing prices on personal experience or price tags on the books in my collection.
