The Hong Kong Disneyland Magical Coin or "pressed penny" HKDL reference guides are divided into manageable sections by the year issued. Direct links are at the top left side of this page. All known Hong Kong China Disneyland (HKDL) Magical Coins or pressed "pennies" on-stage and available to the general public on the Hong Kong Disneyland property are listed. The 2005 Limited Edition Magical Coins are additionally listed on their own page. The graphical pressed penny collection guide shows how Chinese HKDL penny press machine Magical Coins relate to the rest of the Disneyland Parks coins, and the HKDL thumbnail images provide a quick overview. If you have a coin that is not listed, please contact us.
Hong Kong Disneyland Magical Coins are pressed on machine vended blanks or planchets which provide a very clean, high quality souvenir. They are all equal in size and appearance, and do not suffer as much from maintenance issues, governmental changes or regulations. Non-native planchet examples have been reported, however, only native planchet park issues are listed at this time. Off-planchet, non-native coin examples have been found, however, they are not currently listed.
Guide Code Example: HKDL0501"HKDL" = Hong Kong Disneyland, "05" = 2005, "01" = Coin #1.
Guide order is chronological by year only.
Although the name most often used to describe these souvenirs in Hong Kong is "Magical Coins", they often call these souvenirs pressed pennies. In the United States, many collectors use those terms interchangeably with the more casual terms: flattened pennies, crushed pennies, squashed pennies, rolled pennies, mashed pennies, smashed pennies, crushed pennies, stamped pennies, squished pennies, elongated coins or stretched pennies to describe these fun souvenirs.
