By far the hardest book to get, as it is the first, and also has a pressed penny embedded in the front cover.  The coin reads 1*9*5*5  2*0*0*0 with "Forty-Five Years of Magic" in a ribbon above, & "Disneyland 45th © Disney" below the statue of Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse holding hands. There is a picture of Aurora's Castle (Sleeping Beauty) on the front, and "Disneyland Souvenir Penny Collector Book" reverse embossed in copper colored lettering on the front.  It holds 36 pennies and 6 nickels or quarters for a total of 42 elongated coins.  Also has a Fast Pass pocket on the back (middle panel).  One of the most highly sought after Disneyland items because it contains a rare Disneyland elongated coin DL0146.
