Whilst you can no longer purchase the notes direct from Disney, the secondary private seller marketplace is still going strong. Still, Disney Dollars live on through collectors and Disney enthusiasts around the world. This was in large part down to the growth of Disney Gift Cards and the inevitable and perpetual decline of cash.
But in 1990, $10 denominations were added and there were a series of $50 released in 2005.ĭisney Dollars had a good run of almost 30 years but in May, 2016, printing was discontinued. They were first issued in denominations of $1 and $5. They were printed on 100% cotton paper and Scrooge McDuck was the signing treasurer. Microprinting, reflective ink, imprinting, serial numbers and even scattered glitter. Since Disney Dollars could be used across Disney property, they actually had numerous anti-counterfeiting measures built-in to the design. Disney Dollars were legal tender issued by the Walt Disney Company, which were accepted in Walt Disney World, Disneyland California, Disney Stores, Disney Cruise ships and in parts of Castaway Cay (Disney’s privately owned Caribbean island). These weren’t just ordinary pieces of souvenir currency.
Manufactured by EPI in Battle Creek, Michigan, the notes were actually the first 4-colour printed notes issued in the United States. Disney Dollars, the brainchild of Disneyland silhouette cutter Harry Brice, were first issued in 1987 from the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland California.
