It was only a matter of time before the fantastic 60th Diamond Celebration at Disneyland came to and end. I’m sad to say I was unable to actually visit during the celebration but from everything I have seen it looked really amazing. Now that the decorations have started to come down in the parks it also means the special 60th pressed coin designs are beginning to disappear.
The first machine to have a brand new set of designs is located in the Pieces of Eight Gift Shop. As you may guess this is where you end up after riding Pirates of the Caribbean and is a store filled with all your Pirating needs. Towards the end of the store is where this machine is located and has some really detailed new images.
The coins pressed a little long in this set but the images still came out really nicely. As you can see they have a lot of detail and are a great new set.
The first penny has an Anchor and says “Dead Men Tell No Tales” which for you Pirates of the Caribbean fans is a familiar warning you hear before boarding the ride.
The second penny displays a pirate skull with hat and crossed swords in the background.
The final available design is another skull with a banner saying Pirates of the Caribbean. I was really impressed with these designs and am exited to have even more new coins to collect. I don’t know if all the 60th coins machines will be replaced with brand new images and would assume some will be old designs brought back. But I’ll keep my fingers crossed and will keep you posted.
