Greetings Kim!
Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I cannot wait for you to make the journey to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Pressed coins at the Disneyland Resort are one of my favorite souvenirs. Not only are they inexpensive, but they are easy to travel with and are wonderful little treasures to capture your vacation memories. Did you know that you can get pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters pressed throughout the resort? There are classic designs as well as commemorative year-specific designs. My most recent pressed coin was one celebrating one of my favorite Disneyland Resort treats: the corn dogs at Little Red Wagon. How adorable is that?
Since I see you are traveling from the United Kingdom, don't worry, because the friendly Cast Members at the Disneyland Resort will be able to help you achieve your pressed penny dreams. Head over to City Hall in Disneyland Park, Chamber of Commerce in Disney California Adventure Park, or the front desks of the Disneyland Resort Hotels where you can
exchange foreign currency and ask about obtaining quarters for the pressed coin machines.
Before your trip, make sure you download the
official Disneyland app. Apart from viewing park maps, attraction wait times and making dining reservations, you can also search for "Pressed Coin Machines" on the app and see the locations for every one of these on Disneyland Resort property!
Wishing you a magical vacation, and I hope you end up with enough coins to make Scrooge McDuck envious!
