| Pennies |
I've loved collecting pressed pennies since I was a little kid. They're the perfect souvenir: small and portable, inexpensive, and easy to store or display once you get back home. I have pennies from places I've visited all over the country, but the vast majority have come from Disney Parks.
As part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Disney World, 53 new designs have popped up throughout the parks. While I prefer the old hand-crank machines where I can use my own carefully saved pre-1982 copper pennies, many of the new automated machines contain new, uncirculated pennies. Either way, they're still a fun collectible.
Designs include 50 single character designs, one Mickey and Minnie celebration design, and two resort coins. Here's a list of the characters you can find:
- Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Chip, and Dale
- Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio, Cheshire Cat, Lady, Tramp, Dumbo, Timothy Mouse, Mad Hatter, Tinker Bell
- Simba, Timon, Pumba
- Pua, Hei-Hei, Miguel, Dante, Bruni, Olaf, Joe Gardner
- Sebastian, Flounder, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Genie, Abu, Stitch
- Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Bambi, Thumper, Gus-Gus, Jacques
- Woody, Bo Peep, Nemo, Dory, Frozone, Edna Mode
- Figment, Orange Bird,
- BB-8, R2-D2
If you'd like to collect these new designs on your next visit to the parks, Disney has actually made finding the machines easier. Just open the My Disney Experience app and search for "Coin Press Machines". Select "Find On Map" to see machine locations throught the Walt Disney World Resort.
