FEATURED WEB PAGE: DISNEYLAND TOKENS

With the American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money heading to Anaheim, CA, home of Disneyland, this week's Featured Web Page is about Disneyland tokens.

Disneyland tokens can be fun to collect. Tokens have been issued for use as payment in arcade games, lockers, and even issued as Cast Member awards for years. While most were spent, some of these inexpensive "coins" have found their way into pocket change, drawers, collections and in 2013, even into Disneyland token "penny press" machines! On purpose!

Some of us ParkPennies readers have collected these fun mementos (intentionally or unintentionally :-) for years. However, with the recent Disney California Adventure introduction of the ElecTRONica Flynn's Arcade tokens and later the Mad T Party tokens, followed by the Starcade tokens at Disneyland and the introduction of the first Disney USA token press machines at Disneyland... Collector interest has grown, rapidly! Recent ParkPennies reader emails have asked if there could be a ParkPennies.com Disneyland Tokens Guide. We jumped at the chance.

To date we have added a Disneyland Machine Tokens Collection, Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean Doubloons Collection, Disney Typer Disk Tokens, and Disneyland Wooden Tokens (nickels). We'll add images of tokens from our modest personal collection. We hope you'll submit images of additional tokens you've collected to share with fellow collectors. If crowd-sourcing works as well for Disneyland tokens as it has for Disneyland elongated coins, we'll all have one great guide to help us all complete and identify... Disneyland Tokens!
