Disney "Lucky Bucks" were vintage play money issued in newspaper comic sections between 1930 and 1942, featuring characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie, and Pluto. These colorful lithographs on newsprint were intended for children to cut out and use for games, with a note of "PM" for play money. Today, they are considered rare, sought-after collectibles by Disney memorabilia and paper currency enthusiasts, with sets and individual pieces from the various years and characters fetching significant prices from collectors online. Items like these, which were part of a larger promotional set, are often of high interest to collectors and are a good example of how everyday promotional materials from a bygone era can become valuable antiquities.
