Recently my wife Jeanne, our grandchildren and I went to Disney World.  We had good weather and enjoyed the trip.  While there I tracked down Mickey Mouse, not one of the "helpers" you see in the parades, but the real Mickey Mouse!  I had the honor of presenting him with one of my encased coins. I also told him all about encased coins and explained how ECI was instrumental in promoting the hobby.  Mickey was quite impressed.  He knew all about elongated coins since he is featured in many of the rolling penny machines found throughout the park. But  this was the first time he ever saw an encased coin!
