Q: My young-adult niece claims that when she went to Disneyland in California when she was younger, they had a special giveaway. There was a character on everyone’s ticket and whomever had Donald Duck’s that day got a coin with him on it. It has since been lost and I’m trying to find out what coin this was.

A: The only Donald Duck giveaway coin at Disneyland that I can think of was released during the park’s 45th anniversary celebration in 2000. There was a Character of the Month Collector’s Coin, and Donald Duck was in July. The coins sold for $12, or were free with a $50 purchase in the Disneyana Shop or the Disney Gallery.
