TOKEN RETIRED Pressed Penny Guide No.CM0026 (Horizontal elongated token image) FACILLITES & OPERATIONS SERVICES ©DISNEY, Mickey cogwheel or gear logo, small dot border, "e" for Eurolink replaces the dot nearest the center of the gripper slot. Back Stamp: 2008 DISNEYLAND® RESORT, FACILLITES & OPERATIONS SERVICES, CAST APPRECIATION BAR-B-QUE. Preliminary reports state that 300 unpressed "No Cash Value" arcade tokens were distributed to about 150 attendees with the option to press the tokens in the available machine at the 5/15/08 Cast Member appreciation Bar-B-Que. The die, cut by Eurolink, misses the fine detail of hand engraved dies which makes identification of the small type face and copyright difficult. However, the etched back stamp is sharp and easily legible. This is the first formal use of a "token press" at the park and provides a heavy, quality souvenir in a world of zinc, possibly soon to be copper-plated steel pennies, a welcome innovation in this collector's opinion. This coin is pressed on a token. This is the first official DIsneyland coin to use a token.
