How do you spell "Dalmatians?"




101 Dalmations ... or is it Dalmatians? 
Huge Disney Dollar Error 


In 1961, The Walt Disney Company produced one of the world’s most beloved animation features titled, “101 Dalmatians.” A live action remake of this classic appeared in 1996. 

Unfortunately, Disney Dollar creators and proof readers forgot how to spell “Dalmatians” when they produced the $1 Dalmatians Disney Dollar Currency note as part of the 2013 Heroes and Villains Series. 


Cruella De Vil appears on the note’s front and Prongo and Perdita appear on the reverse, right along with the misspelled “101 Dalmations” banner. 


[Note: Even Microsoft word alerts writers of the mistaken spelling]. 


Authors of a PCGS Currency web site posting have indicated that the actual quantity of these error notes making it into circulation is unknown; however “it is apparent that this will be a great find and an excellent addition to anyone’s Disney Dollar collection.” 


I have lived through this history. Disney theme parks sold these notes only for about two weeks when an astute school teacher discovered and reported the error. Disney immediately pulled all of these errors! No corrected remake was ever produced. That means that whoever was lucky enough to have purchased the notes during that very short period of time (whether tourist or collector) had all of the available notes. Thus, Disney Dollar “Dalmation” errors are exceedingly sought-after and ever-more scarce! 


Disney Dollar errors are exceedingly rare and an error of this magnitude is unprecedented. 

Please check out our web site at

Treasuredstocks.com to learn more about the internationally acclaimed Disney Dollars or to see actual examples of Disney Dollar errors. We still have a few “Dalmatian” error notes available, but please contact us immediately, if interested. 


For interest (and fun) here is a USA Today news item that describes the Disney Dollar Demise.

How to Start a Currency Collection

I want to start collecting coins and currency items; where do I start?

Collectors of coins and currency do so for many reasons. One of the most common collector is the hobiest who collects more for fun and appeal, rather than profit. Often, this attraction begins as a child who, by chance or purpose, receives an item that is both fascinating and historical.

An increasingly popular reason to pursue collecting of coins and currency is to do so as an investment Persons who use collections as a kind of investing do so with the idea that the value of the items, in singular or total, will increase over time. Supply and demand is the key concept here as well as a critical understanding that collections do not “make” money until they are sold and may even incur costs, such as the costs of safe and secure storage.

A third type of collector is the person who acquires a collection via inheritance. This person may or may not have any real interest in the items but appreciates potential value.

One great advantage we have today is the internet. For example, take a careful look around our Treasuredstocks.com web site and you will see over 4,000 items, of all categories, grades, and prices, all graded and all in full color view. And now a bit about grading. A graded item allows collectors to speak the same language when it comes to the condition of the item.

The term “Numismatics” refers to the study or collecting of coin/currency. A numismatist is someone who does this by hobby or profession. Here is a great web site to use, when learning more about such an exciting field. There’s even several links specifically designed for children.
