Not exactly! In Egmont-publications the same name is used for both this
cities, so far you are entirely correct. And OK, sometimes Donald and Mickey
do appear together, but normally Mickey lives in a city where Chief O'Hara
is the head of the police and where the worst bandits are Big Pete and The
Phantom Blot. These bandits do not attempt any attack on Scrooges Money Bin
simply because it doesn't exits in their city.

In Donald's home city there is no Chief O'Hara, Big Pete or The Phantom
Blot. So unless you are an Egmont canonist (believing that Egmont's
decisions represent canon in the Disney-universe) there are good reasons to
see Donald's home city and Mickey's home city as two separate cities.

Sigvald :-)
