◊ Recreation Coupon
In 1971 Walt Disney World put out a “Recreation Coupon” used to promote their facilities in Florida.
This coupon was given out to select visitors of Walt Disney World on opening day October 1, 1971.
There are two different types of Recreation Coupons. They look the same, but one is dated 1971A and the other is dated 1972A.
Each coupon had a unique serial number and has the printed signature of the Chairman of the Board of Disney at the time, Roy O. Disney, printed on the front.
These bills are larger than US currency, and were only issued in $1 notes denominations. However it differs from the actual Disney Dollar as it has no cash value. And may not be redeemed for cash at any time.
They were only useable at the Walt Disney World resort in Florida, not at the Disneyland Resort in California.
