Is this a cool pressed penny collecting book or what? Although this book did not have an elongated coin in the cover, it is often on the list of Disney pressed penny collectors. Offered only for the 50th, many collectors used this book to hold and display the 51 Magical Milestones pressed pennies they collected at the park. All too often, the thought of purchasing the book occurred after the penny collector books were sold out. The original price was $6.00, shocking to some at the time, but, a real deal if you can find one today.
These pressed penny collecting books are also very popular souvenirs at many museums, space centers, national and state parks, zoos, aquariums, theme restaurants, and amusement / theme parks. Many have exclusive or limited edition pressed pennies in the cover. One WDW pressed penny collecting book even had a medal in the cover. ParkPennies.com has a page just about Disneyland Pressed Penny Books / Elongated Coin Albums. Do take a look if you are interested in the different Disneyland USA and Disneyland Tokyo books including prototypes.
