||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 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 Should be restocked in March |

UNDATED COINS ASSORTMENT – SET A 12 pennies
without dates. We believe these will serve
as permanent replacements for some of the 100 Years of Wonder coins (as well
as a few other older designs). There are 37 coins that fit in this category, and the other 25 will be
available later. A combined set of all
37 will also be made available later. |

12 coins are included in this set:

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.

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. |

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. |
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. |

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

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. |
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. |
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. |

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. |
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. |
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.

MACON MUSEUM OF ARTS & SCIENCES Macon, Georgia This
museum has a penny press with a single design. Pressed on an uncirculated copper cent. |
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. |
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

Monument token (see
our regular Georgia listings or our National Park Tokens page),

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. |
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. 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. |
