DISNEY PRESSED
COIN BOOKS
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.
