Disney dollar

Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIS : Disney dollar

Disney Dollars are a form of corporate scrip or tokens used at Disney theme parks, The Disney Store and at certain parts of Castaway Cay, the Disney cruise-line's private island. Most of them bear the image of Mickey Mouse or a drawing of one of the landmarks of Disneyland or Walt Disney World Resort. Two small monochrome reproductions of Tinkerbell float to the sides. There is sometimes the signature of the Treasurer, Scrooge McDuck.

The dollars come in one, five and ten dollar denominations (and since 2005 also in [$50]) and are redeemable for goods or services at the theme parks, the Disney cruise ships, their Castaway Cay port of call and the Disney stores, unless indications to the contrary are printed on the individual bills. Also, they can simply be exchanged back to U.S. currency. They were first issued in 1987 and are collected by Disney memorabilia fans. Special editions are sometimes sold to Disney Cast Members as a form of incentive.

Disney dollars come in "A" dollars and "D" dollars. The former created for Disneyland in Anaheim, California (hence the "A"), and the latter "D" for Walt Disney World in Florida. New Disney dollars have been produced every year since 1987 except 1992 and 2004. Since 2005 they also have "T" dollars (for The Disney stores) and "B" dollars (only as 50$ bills from the artist "Boyer" for Disneyland's 50th Anniversary Celebration). [link]
