50th Anniversary Pressed Pennies.

[Barbaraann]

I have a question about the Disneyland Pressed Penny machines.

Last year, when I was there for the anniversary, I started a pressed penny collection. I managed to get almost all of the special 50 Anniversary designs. I only missed a few. One or two of them I missed, was because the machines were out of order. Here is my question.

Do the penny machines still have the Anniversary designs? Will the designs still be available until September? I am visiting the end of August.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Thank You.

The Disneyland site for this is:

These are all still the same designs "Magical Milestones"
each year from 1955 thru 2005

There are of course additional new presses for 2006
including the infamous "Chip and Dale" proudly displaying
their nuts, which is at the gift shop in the Grand Californian.

Also you should check parkpennies.com It's my friend Bob's site and he does a fabulous job keeping it updated as to what's new, retired, etc, locations too. Here is his location list just for the "Magical Milestones(50th) designs. http://www.parkpennies.com/50th1.pdf

Also if you are interested in pressed coins at all you should join the national club called TEC for "the Elongated Collectors". http://www.tecnews.org/
