Replacing the 2017 coins with new 2018 dated coins has begun today. It started with replacing the quarters at All-Star Music and All-Star Sports resorts. The 2017 penny at Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures and the 2017 quarter at Harambe Wildlife Express Train Station at Animal Kingdom were also replaced with 2018 designs.
New 2018 anniversary designs will continue to be put in at the same locations where there were 2017 coins until all fifteen have been replaced. We will be posting more info and pictures soon as the 2017 dies are replaced.
There is one location that appears will be a problem. A little over a month ago construction walls were put up in the Stage 1 Company Store at Hollywood Studios which blocked access to the quarter machine that had a 2017 design. We were originally told by cast members that this machine would not be available for several weeks. The latest thing we have heard is that this area of the store won't reopen until Toy Story Land opens summer 2018. Hopefully, this machine will be relocated somewhere else so that the quarter in this machine will be available to get to.
