NEW DISNEY SETS

from 2024 & late 2023

 

 

60 NEW COINS IN JANUARY 2024

 

60 NEW COINS WERE ISSUED IN JANUARY 2024. 23 FEATURE THE 2024 DATE, WHILE THE REMAINDER ARE UNDATED REPLACEMENTS FOR THE PRIOR 100 YEARS OF WONDER SERIES.

 

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN MORE THAN HALF OF THESE COINS FOR RESALE, AND WILL BE ADDING MORE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO TO COMPLETE THE SETS.  WE ARE SELLING COMPLETE SETS OF THE DATED 2024 COINS, AND PARTIAL SETS OF THE UNDATED COINS. 

 

Singles are not currently available through our website.

 

All new Disney coins are pressed on zinc pennies supplied by the machines.  As usual, they are not always perfect rolls. 

You may see surface scratches on the coins.  It appears the vendor tightened the die pressure to reduce short rolls, but this also eats into the coin surface, leaving scratches.

The photos show a representative sample, and yours will be similar.

 

We will not be stocking medallions

 

 

 

 

2024 ASSORTMENT – COMPLETE SET OF 23 DATED COINS

 

 

Complete set of all 23 pennies with 2024 dates.   

 

There will be a duplicate design in the full 2024 series – two locations have a coin with the four park logos.  They will be separately marked.  There are subtle differences between the two coins, so a complete set must include both [see photo below].

 

Magic Kingdom coin has horizontal stripes

and slightly smaller park icons

 

 

 

 

Set 2024P (complete)    $54.99   

 

 

For those few who purchased the incomplete Set A, we have the 3-coin Set B for sale separately.

Set 2024P.B    $7.49    OUT OF STOCK

UNDATED COINS ASSORTMENT – SET A

2024 MACHINE SETS

 

We were able to roll extra sets from only a few machines.

 

 

You may see surface scratches on the coins.  It appears the vendor tightened the die pressure to reduce short rolls, but this also eats into the coin surface, leaving scratches.

 

OSCAR’S SUPER SERVICE

Hollywood Studios

 

 

Three new coins replaced the designs formerly available here.  One depicts the Tower of Terror with a 2024 date (Presscoins WDW24001), and there are two new undated designs (Daisy & Minnie in car, WDW24002, and Director Mickey with Minnie, WDW24003).  Complete set of 3 from the Oscar’s machine.

 

Pressed on shiny zinc pennies supplied by the machine. 

 

 

 

Set DHS67    $7.49   

 

 

HALL OF PRESIDENTS EXIT

Magic Kingdom

 

 

This location has several names – Hall of Presidents exit; Liberty Square Ticket Office; Heritage House.  The machine is located in the walkway between the Hall of Presidents exit and the Sleepy Hollow food booth dining area.

 

The three coins celebrating 100 Years of Wonder were replaced by one new design (Hatbox Ghost, Presscoins #WDW24024 – sure to be popular) and two old designs (the steam boat and Hall of Presidents, Presscoins #MK0197 & MK0198).

 

This is the complete set of 3 from this machine, rolled on shiny zinc pennies supplied by the machine.  They are very robust pressings – well-centered with full images and borders.

 

Set MK73    $7.49

LIMIT ONE OF EACH STYLE PER CUSTOMER AT THIS TIME

 

We have a few copies of the original “wavy” defective Thor coins, as well as the replacement die, from Pop Century. 

 

The original die was defective, so a new die was introduced in late 2023 for only a couple months.

 

 

Defective die: Presscoins #WDW2301b:

DISNEY COMPANY 100TH ANNIVERSARY PENNIES

This set includes the smooth second (replacement) version of the Thor penny

A few coins (including the new Thor die) may be off-center due to machine problems that affected entire batches

Complete set #YOW69   $169.99  

 

See our 100YOW page for more sets, including a makeup set for those who purchased the incomplete set of 63 earlier in 2023

 

 

JUST ADDED!

 

GRAND FLORIDIAN BUS STOP 2023

SET with 2 100YOW COINS

 

 

We were able to stock up on these sets in January 2024 when the machine had not yet been switched to the 2024 designs.  Includes two 100YOW coins (Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland), but many of them are off-center (as shown in photo).

 

Pressed on zinc pennies supplied by the machine.

 

 

RES106    $7.49       

 

 

 

TRON simulated arcade tokens

 

 

When the Tron ride opened in April 2023 a set of 6 different arcade-style tokens for “Flynn’s Arcade” (from the movie) was offered in the gift shop.  These are still available.

 

Unlike the old Flynn’s Arcade tokens from California Adventure, these are oversized tokens that are around 30 mm, the size of a U.S. half dollar.  A quarter dollar is shown for size comparison. 

 

The reverse has “Flynn’s Arcade,” and the fronts show 6 different graphic designs associated with the movies.

 

Three coins have a nickel-silver finish, and three have a brass finish.  They do not stick to a magnet.

 

Sold as a complete set of 6.  We only purchase 4 sets for resale and will stock more in January if these are popular.

 

Set of 6 - TK17  $34.99  

 

 

 

New Epcot France

 

A new 8-die machine was installed at Les Halles in Epcot’s France pavilion.  The machine replaced a 3-die machine with a secret die that was never placed into service. 

 

Unfortunately, this preloaded machine delivers poorly aligned pennies, as shown in the photos.  We hope to get better sets in January, and are discounting these in light of their condition.

 

Presscoins #WDW23094-23101.

 

Set EP55x  $9.99  

 

 

 

 

4-die machine at Muppet 3D Movie Entrance

 

This machine was quietly added in April 2023 (no announcement – not even on Presscoins) with 4 brand-new designs: Vampirina; Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in a car; Mickey as Steamboat Wille; and Stitch with Angel.

 

This is a preloaded machine with zinc pennies.

 

Presscoins #WDW23090-23093.

 

Set DHS66  $9.99  

 

 

 

 

Frontierland Restrooms machine combines retired Hotel Boulevard designs

 

 

This machine popped up late in 2023, well after the closure of Splash Mountain and the relocation and (for some) retirement of its associated machines.  The set incorporates three retired designs from Hotel Boulevard hotels : Presscoins #WDW18044 (Minnie Mouse, originally at B Resort & Spa); WDW18050 (Chip & Dale, originally at Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace); and WDW18039 (Mickey & Pluto, originally at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista). 

 

Set MK71  $7.50  

 

 

Some of the Hotel Plaza Boulevard sets are still available on our Resorts page.

 

 

 

ANIMAL KINGDOM 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Complete set of 3 zinc pennies from 3 different machines, added in early April 2023  

[Presscoins # WDW23079-23081] 

AK43   $7.99       

 

 

LIVING SEAS 100TH

Remy; Ariel with Flounder; Figment; Nemo & Dory.  Complete set of 4 from the gift shop at The Living Seas, pressed on zinc pennies supplied by the machine.

 

Set # EP56   $9.99

NEW ADDITIONS – NON-DISNEY

 

 

MAYFIELD DAIRY

Athens, Tennessee

 

 

Many dairies and farms have taken on a role to educate and entertain the public.  The Mayfield Dairy has a penny press in their visitor center with 4 dies.

 

This complete set is rolled on uncirculated copper cents. 

 

Designs: logo; Divco milk truck; Turtle Tracks with cartoon turtle; milkman’s carry rack with bottles.

 

TN74    $5.99   

 

 

 

COOTERS

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

 

History was made on January 10, 2024 when – after more five years of trying – I finally got a Cooters machine to roll 4 coins in a row.  Their machines at their Tennessee locations always seem to be out of order.  They are the worst machines in the southeast and make the Buc-ee’s machines seem reliable.

 

The second machine was out of order, of course, but my luck with machine #1 is your gain.  These pennies are poorly aligned, but they are miracle pennies.  We may never be able to stock them again.

 

Designs: Cooter’s tow truck; General Lee car; General Lee number 01; sheriff’s badge.  The coins all say “Gatlinburg” but this museum is now located in Pigeon Forge.

 

Pressed on cleaned copper cents that may show signs of streaks.

 

TN31    $5.99   

 

 

 

RACCOON MOUNTAIN CAVERNS

Chattanooga, Tennessee

 

 

A campground and cave attraction, Raccoon Mountain’s gift shop features a penny press with 4 dies.  This is a complete set, rolled on uncirculated copper cents.

 

Designs: raccoon head; steam locomotive; bat; caver’s helmet.  These coins include a backstamp with location information.

 

TN75    $5.99   

 

 

 

 

KENNESAW MOUNTAIN

NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD PARK

Kennesaw, Georgia

 

It took years to finally get a parking space at the visitor center!  Complete set of 4 pressed on uncirculated copper cents.

 

Designs: Monument; shooting soldier in oval; cannon with mountains; Kennesaw Mountain 1864 [year of Civil War battle]. 

 

Check out our national park tokens from this location as well. 

 

 

GA13    $5.99   

 

 

 

WORTH COUNTY

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Sylvester, Georgia

 

 

This chamber of commerce office in the heart of peanut country loves to receive visitors.  If you’re luck, they may offer you a Coke and a bag of peanuts. 

 

Designs: Peanut Festival; county courthouse ; fish and Lake Blackshear; steam locomotive GAS&C 100.

 

Complete set of 4 pressed on uncirculated copper cents.

 

GA17    $5.99   

 

 

 

TALLULAH GORGE VISITOR CENTER

Tallulah Falls, Georgia

 

 

Complete set of 4 from the visitor center for the Tallulah Gorge park.  Pressed on uncirculated copper cents.

 

Designs: Suspension bridge; salamander; hiker; Peregrine falcon.

 

We have one remaining set that is blemished (a stain on one coin) and some coins are off-center.  The photo shows the exact set you are buying.   This location is far from our normal path through Georgia and the set will not be restocked.

 

GA18BL    $6.99   

 

 

 

 

MACON MUSEUM OF ARTS & SCIENCES

Macon, Georgia

 

This museum has a penny press with a single design.  Pressed on an uncirculated copper cent.

 

 

GA15    $1.49   

 

 

 

 

YOU’LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT

NEW PENNY FOR 2023

 

 

This beauty was produced by private roller Alex Mruk for Christmas 2023.  Pressed on copper cents. 

 

 

AM01   $2.25   

 

 

 

9 HELL NOTES

 

(both sides shown)

 

An assortment of 9 Hell/Heaven notes.  In some Asian cultures, sacrifices are made for the souls of the departed to pave their way to Heaven.  Often, the sacrifice is done through burning decorative paper and artificial money (collectively called "joss paper"). 

 

The designs can have legendary historical figures, or they might simulate real money without running afoul of counterfeiting laws (for example, in North America families might burn replicas of American currency).  They often bear the markings of "Hell Bank Note" or "Heaven Bank Note," which can be a bit shocking to Western onlookers.  They all tend to bear very high denominations; some of these are 50 million dollars and 100 million dollars.  After all, if you are making a sacrifice, you might as well make it look like a big one! 

 

This lot presents a variety of nine uncirculated notes.  They seem to be mainly Chinese, but there may be a couple Vietnamese notes mixed in. These make a colorful and interesting basis for a currency collection.  The notes at the bottom of the photo are the same size as U.S. currency, so that should give you an idea of the size of these items.

 

Coin dealers often mix these in with their bargain-box currency and sell them for 50 cents or a dollar apiece.  Shipped in protective cardboard to keep them crisp.

NATIONAL PARK TOKENS

 

National Park tokens are between the size of a nickel and a quarter and have artwork on both sides.  They are sold at many national parks and related federal facilities operated by the National Park Service (such as historic sites, battlefields, national lakeshores, etc.).  Prices vary because they are set by the operators of the gift shops.     

 

Other national park tokens can be found on their own page: Click here.

  NEW ADDITIONS FROM CHICAGO 

Added in December 2023

 

 

NEW DESIGNS AT FIELD MUSEUM

 

 

We’re not sure when this machine was added, but it replaces the machine that had extinct species with more extinct species and the square-shaped Field Museum logo adopted in 2018.  To date, these are the only pressed coins with the newer logo.

 

Designs: Saber-toothed Cat; Allosaurus; Sue at the Field Museum Chicago; 2 dinosaurs at water’s edge.

 

Pressed on shiny zinc pennies supplied by the machine.

 

Set IL44z    $9.99  

 

 

 

 

 

U-BOAT COINS ON GERMAN EURO COINS

 

 

We sprayed a green dye on the oak cluster side of German 2-euro-cent coins (the Ray Dillard method) and pressed these with the oak clusters on the reverse.  These coins are the same size as an American penny.  You get the two U-505 designs from the submarine exhibit at the Museum of Science & Industry.  The reverse and a raw source coin are shown only for comparison. 

 

Set IL18.eu (2 coins)   $5.99  

 

Trivia: although the U-boat was captured in the Caribbean and towed through the 4 Great Lakes to Chicago after the war, humorous Chicagoans used to convincingly tell gullible visitors that it was captured in Lake Michigan and shows how close Germany had come to invading the United States.  While the German navy patrolled off the coast of the U.S., it wouldn’t have gotten past the Welland Canal. 

 

 

 

U-BOAT COINS ON 5-PFENNIG COINS

BACK IN STOCK

 

 

 

The two U-boat designs pressed on slightly circulated obsolete German 5-pfennig coins.  These coins have a brass tone to them, and because they are slightly circulated you can generally see the image of the oak clusters from the source coin on the reverse (intensity varies – visibility is higher for highly circulated coins).

 

The German 5-pfennig coin (a denomination replaced when Germany adopted the Euro) is slightly smaller than an American penny, but also slightly thicker.  When rolling, the full image is usually realized. 

 

You will receive two coins with U-boat designs.  The rolled reverse and a source coin are only shown for reference.
