DISNEY COMPANY 100TH ANNIVERSARY PENNIES
The new 100 Years of Wonder series replaced the
62 pennies celebrating the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World. Any machine that had a 50th anniversary
coin gained a replacement 100 Years penny.
In addition, 2 machines that had not housed 50th anniversary coins had
their old designs replaced by the new celebration: a 3-die machine at the
Heritage House (Hall of Presidents in Magic Kingdom) and a 4-die machine at
the Promenade Pier (outdoors at the Boardwalk Resort). 62 + 3 + 4 = 69 new pennies. This series is devoted to the 100th anniversary
of the Disney Company, which was founded in 1923 (Mickey Mouse joined the
crew in 1928, but Disney had other cartoons before that time – notably the
Alice Comedies, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and Silly Symphonies). The official title of the celebration is
“100 Years of Wonder,” and you may see it abbreviated as 100YoW, 100YW, or
similar permutations. The celebration
officially began April 1, and the penny presses were ready in March. As of April 29, 2023, there were 69 different
pennies at Disney World. We have only
been able to obtain 63 of them due to various machine malfunctions during our
late April visit. The 6 coins missing from our sets are: 4 coins from The
Living Seas with Nemo (Ratatouille, Figment, Nemo & Dory, and Ariel &
Flounder); Baloo from Animal Kingdom – Wilderness Explorer Station; and
Timon, Pumbaa & Simba from Animal Kingdom – Dawa Bar. We plan to obtain all available coins and will
offer any new acquisitions as partial sets so you can complete your
collection. We do not know if
additional machines will be added, or if dies will be swapped for new
designs. We are not selling singles at this
time. FA 1.
There are only 63 coins in these sets. They are incomplete because 6
dies were not available during our visit. 2. In
a perfect world, there are 69 designs.
We only have 63 at this time.
The 6 coins missing from our current offering are: [1-4] 4 pennies
from The Living Seas with Nemo (Ratatouille, Figment, Nemo & Dory, and
Ariel & Flounder); [5] Baloo from Animal Kingdom – Wilderness Explorer
Station; and [6] Timon, Pumbaa & Simba from Animal Kingdom – Dawa Bar. 3. No,
we will not be selling singles until next year, and then we will only be
liquidating remaining inventory and cannot guarantee continued availability
of any particular design. You can find
prior years’ singles on our Dated
Coins page. 4. Yes,
we expect to have the remaining coins during the summer and will offer them
as a complete set of 6. Expect the
price to be around $15. 5.
Although we do not sell singles, we are offering machine sets: all 100
Years of Wonder coins from a single machine, or from a set of adjoining
machines. 6.
These are all zinc pennies as dispensed by the machines. Very few of these coins enjoy perfect
alignment of the design on the coin. 7. As
always, the photo shows a representative sample. Your designs will be the same, and the
condition similar. 8. No,
we are not stocking the 100 Years of Wonder medallions. Some older medallions are still available
as clearance items on various Disney and State pages – see the links in the
notice at the bottom of this page. We have limited numbers (around 5 copies) of any sets with
100th anniversary coins Incomplete set of 63 Set# YOW63 $154.99

RIVIERA RESORT FINALLY AVAILABLE We don’t know the complete official story, but
here’s a reliable unofficial version of these sets. When Riviera was getting ready to open in
December 2019, Disney’s vendor placed an 8-die machine in the building and
activated it. The machine was
reportedly available for only a single day (December 10) during media
previews, when a Disney executive apparently caught wind of its existence and
ordered it removed. The machine was
placed in a closet – so near, and yet so far, and we know of no public access
to it for more than three years. There were two factors at play. First, and this is definitely unofficial
but comes from a reliable collector, Disney Vacation Club wants to keep its
properties “exclusive” to members and objected that a penny press would
attract unwashed collectors like you and me.
Second, the vendor who controls all penny presses at Disney World has
been known to overstep its bounds in the past, so placing a machine in a
discouraged location is not a huge surprise.
Remember, the vendor put its Pennycollector.com inscription on the
border of the Toy Story Land set of 4 Pixar pennies a few years ago, and had
to replace those dies within a few days.
They also switched to circulated coins in all their machines in 2021,
which caused a ton of complaints to Disney about its quality standards and
resulted in the vendor going back to uncirculated zinc cents. For whatever reason, the machine was returned
to a public area in mid-March 2023.
And that’s good news.

TOLEDO WALLEYE/TOLEDO MUDHENS MACHINE
RETURNED IN DECEMBER 2022 WE LISTED THE COINS IN MAY 2023 I finally had a chance to track down the elusive Toledo Walleye (hockey)
machine that was first reported on PennyCollector
in December 2022. As some suspected,
this appears to be the same machine that had been located at the Toledo
Mudhens’ minor league ballpark. These
dies are worn (making many features indistinguishable) and roll slightly
short, and I was only able to get 4 sets after employees allowed me into the
locked arena. Rolled on uncirculated
copper cents. Complete set of 4 pennies,
with backstamp on each. OH04

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”.

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. DHS63BL $3.19

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.
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. |
