2013 Disney $1 Villains & Heroes Set (4 Notes) PCGS 63–67 PPQ Serial #D022001 Rare Matched Pair Set

Offered here is an exceptional 4-note matched serial number set from the 2013 Disney Dollars "Villains and Heroes" Series, featuring beloved Disney characters from Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid. Each $1 banknote is certified and graded by PCGS Currency, with individual grades ranging from Choice New 63PPQ to Superb Gem New 67PPQ. These notes all share the same serial number, D022001, an extraordinary detail that dramatically increases the rarity and collector appeal of the set.

Authenticity:

These are official Disney Dollars issued in 2013 by Disney Parks and graded by PCGS Currency, a trusted name in the numismatic certification world. Each note bears the facsimile signature of Treasurer Scrooge McDuck and the official Disney logo, ensuring their authenticity as genuine collectible currency formerly accepted within Disney properties.

Historical Significance:

The Disney Dollar program, launched in 1987 and discontinued in 2016, bridged the worlds of fantasy and finance. This 2013 “Villains and Heroes” release is among the final themed issues before Disney ended the program. Each note celebrates the timeless dichotomy of good vs. evil through vivid artwork from classic animated films.

Notably, this set includes the "101 Dalmatians" note labeled with an error: it reads “101 Dalmations” instead of “Dalmatians.” Errors like this are rare and particularly desirable among advanced collectors.

Design and Features:

Each note features two sides:

• Obverse: Showcases a Disney villain:

  • Captain Hook (Peter Pan)

  • Cruella de Vil (101 Dalmatians) — with the Dalmatians typo error

  • Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)

  • Ursula (The Little Mermaid)

• Reverse: Depicts their heroic counterparts in full-color ovals with the title and release year of their respective films:

  • Peter and Wendy – Peter Pan (1953)

  • Pongo and Perdita – 101 Dalmatians (1961)

  • Prince Phillip and Aurora – Sleeping Beauty (1959)

  • Prince Eric and Ariel – The Little Mermaid (1989)

The notes include intricate border engravings, character-themed backgrounds, and rich pastel tones. Tinker Bell appears as a watermark element near the denomination on the villain side, adding to the magic and charm.

Remarkable Denomination:

Each note is denominated at One Disney Dollar, a whimsical but once-functional form of currency within Disney parks. Although no longer redeemable, these notes serve as treasured mementos of a now-retired and highly collectible series.
