Disney Dollar Story
Disney Dollars: Produced between 1987 and 2014 by the Walt Disney Company, they looked a lot like U.S. dollars, but with the image of Mickey or Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy, or Dumbo rather than Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton or Franklin. They even came with anti-counterfeiting features: microprinting, tough-to-scan reflected ink, serial numbers, bits of glitter scattered about, and the authorization of Treasurer Scrooge McDuck.
Although the Disney Company stop issuing these notes in xxxx they are still accepted at the Disneyland, Walt Disney World, on Disney Cruise Line ships, the Disney Store, or even parts of Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.You’d be wiser to pay in real dollars instead as Disney Dollars today are in high demand from collector and command a price far higher than their face value.
Disney produced 172 varieties in denominations from $1 to $50, although the collection value today has no relation to the original trading value.

The corrected bills now read “MAY BE USED AS LEGAL TENDER ONLY AT DISNEYLAND AND WALT DISNEY WORLD”

The second series the (1987A), released at both parks, stated on the bill "May be used as legal tender only at Disneyland and Walt Disney World".
