Return to pressed pennies page

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. Also check out Boomer’s
page for Disneyland books. It has
lots of details about prototypes and the first book. There are new books at
Rainforest Café and T-Rex Café – scan to the bottom for the Landry Restaurant
books (Landry runs T-Rex, Rainforest, and Yak & Yeti) |
