POP Century Resort NEW Pressed Pennies and Medallions

Disney’s POP Century Resort is truly a fun and fairly economical place to stay during your trip. My family has stayed here a few times and we always have a great time.

The resort is themed after different decades, the 50s thru the 90s, and that theme continues through all areas.

As you take a dip in one of the pools with a huge retro jukebox, and records decorating the guest room buildings.

In the 70s area the courtyard has a larger than life foosball game, Big Wheel and even a classic Mickey Mouse telephone.

There is so much to see here, it’s sometimes fun to just walk around and explore. Plus you get to try and explain some old technology to your kids. That won’t make you feel old I’m sure.

Inside the main lobby building is where you will find the Everything POP shopping and dining area. During our visit sections of it were under construction but I have seen since that it has all been completed.

Just past the shopping area, but before you get to the cafeteria section you will find two new coin machines. First up let’s take a look at the new pressed penny machine. The cabinet blends in nicely with the surrounding walls which I like the look of.

As you can see this machine does offer 8 different coin designs. Thankfully for now the price is still $5 for the entire set, or $1 individually. The pennies have images of the POP Century Resort logo, and then an assortment of Mickey and his friends.

If you just take about 3 steps to your left you will find the second new machine which offered 4 new collectible medallions.

I really like this set of coins. They seem to fit in with the vibe of the POP Century Resort different decades theme. We have Mickey “Rock n’ Roll”, Minnie “Flower Power”, Donald “Out of Sight”, and Goofy “Totally Awesome”. The medallions are $20 for four, or $6 each.

There use to be a few other pressed penny machines at this resort but they have all been retired and these are now the only two machines available. I’m sure they will be around for quite awhile and it appears that the dated coins will not be returning any time soon to the resorts. These are great new additions to collect. Keep on Pressing!
