The 2001 Disneyland Disneyana Convention Elongated Coins

The 2001 Disneyana Special Event or Convention held at the Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, offered two machines for attendees. And members of the general public, if you were a nibble, member of the general public, and found your way into the foyer of the main event Disneyland Hotel conference room. (Because these pressed pennies and elongated coins were available to the general public, without paying admission, they are listed in the DR Disneyland Hotels and Downtown Disney Guide as well as the CM Cast Member and Special Event Guide.)

The event offered one three-play penny press machine and next to it a three play quarter press machine. Both machines offered three slightly different coins each. I'm told that all three dies in both machines were "the same" so as to cut down on guest lines. (If you are lost, wondering why multiple identical dies in the same machine would serve coins faster, we are with you.) Whatever the reason, there are three elongated cents and three elongated quarters that look very much alike and are often short rolls. Sadly, many guests pressed only one coin from each machine thinking they had them all. Hmmm... maybe that's how the duplicate dies cut down on guest lines?

This page, the accompanying CM Disneyland Cast Member and Special Event Guide, and DR Disneyland Resort Hotels and Downtown Disney Guide, are here to help you attribute these nearly identical coins. Now you'll know which ones you need to complete your collection and can blame this guide for driving you crazy looking for all of them all!

The different variations seem to be equally available at the time of this report.
