NIAGARA FALLS STATE PARK

 

For whatever reason, Pennycollector has trouble keeping track of the machines in the state park – probably because collectors who report information have trouble finding them all.

 

As of August 8, 2023, there were six PennyCollector machines with 4 dies each.  Two were not working properly.

 

Locations: 4 machines at Cave of the Winds building (2 at entrance, 2 in food area)

1 machine in Top of the Falls gift shop

1 machine in Visitor Center gift shop

 

Again, we can only offer sets from 4 machines: 3 at Cave of the Winds, and 1 at Top of the Falls

 

We have removed the Pennycollector machine numbers because Pennycollector has two different listings for the Cave of the Winds gift shop and employs two contradictory numbering systems!

Rheinfall in Switzerland

 

 

These waterfalls on the Rhein River in Switzerland are Europe’s largest.  The coin has a silver tone like nickel, and appears slightly smaller than a U.S. nickel.  PennyCollector doesn’t list it, but from reports from Germany it appears PennyCollector is missing an entire machine from the store at this location.

 

Circulated coin.  It is likely rolled on a Swiss coin, as the color and size don’t match Euro coins.

 

m71   $4   SOLD

 

 

William Shakespeare

 

 

Possibly from England. Not listed in PennyCollector.  Base coin attracts a magnet, so quite possibly a UK penny (which is about the size of a U.S. nickel).

ELONGATED DIME FROM

NEW BALTIMORE TRADE CENTER

 

This machine was installed in early 2023.  I rolled a circulated dime just because I could.  As you can see, it rolls slightly short since a dime doesn’t have as much metal as a penny.

LIMITED EDITION DISNEYLAND COIN

CELEBRATING RETURN OF TRAINS

 

The steam trains at Disneyland were shut down for several years during construction.  When they reopened, Disney issued a commemorative medal proclaiming the “return of a classic.”  1955 copies were made (that’s the year Disneyland opened).

 

We have one in new condition with its original slipcase packaging.  The original price was $55, but we’re selling this one for $45.  The coin is roughly the size of a silver dollar; the full packaging is 6” x 4”.

b36   $2  

 

 

 

DISNEY JUNIOR/IN CHARACTER SHOP BLEMISHED SETS

 

 

We still have a few of the blemished sets from the In Character store featuring characters from Disney Junior programs.  In early 2021 Disney’s vendor placed circulated zinc pennies in all the machines, leading to customer dissatisfaction and a change in policy.  Unfortunately, we bought too many and can’t sell them at ordinary prices. 

 

Here's a chance to acquire some pennies below their original cost, perhaps to fill a gap in your collection or to give to children who will be more familiar with these characters.  This is the complete set of 8 from this location.

 

Photo shows a sample set.  Each set will be different (but similar) in quality.

Leaving the Laughing Place

Tribute to Splash Mountain

 

When Splash Mountain’s transition was announced a couple years ago, Don Cade produced a penny showing Br’er Rabbit leaving home.  The original coins were pressed with backstamps mentioning the Disney parks and were given catalog #DT0012 on the Parkpennies website. 

 

We have acquired a small inventory without backstamps.  They are rolled on uncirculated copper cents.

 

DT0012   $4.99  

 

SPLASH MOUNTAIN UPDATE

 

The retirement of Splash Mountain’s penny machines at Disney World was only temporary.  The impending closing of the attraction on January 23 brought unprecedented lines in the gift shop, prompting Disney to bring out the ropes and establish a formal queue.  A couple days after, Disney (or its vendor) decided to bring the machines back – so they are at Frontierland (8-die machine at Country Bear Jamboree, and the other two machines under the train station and near the restrooms).

 

There are confirmed reports in March 2023 that the 4-die machine under the Frontierland train station has been removed.

 

We will be bringing back our old listings (and old “unretired” prices) soon – just check the Magic Kingdom page to see when they become available after we catch up with all the other new products from this year.
