There are two additional 2014 quarter designs to add to what we previously reported. Friends 1 of 8 design with Mike and Sulley at The Land at EPCOT and Classic Mickey Mouse design at Mickey's of Hollywood at Hollywood Studios have been replaced with the new 2014 quarter design.

 
     
 
New 2014 Quarter Designs
 
Sunday, January 5th, 2014
 
 
In addition to several 2014 pennies with the same design being located throughout Walt Disney World, there will also be several 2014 quarters all with the same design. So far the new 2014 quarter design is at the Contemporary Resort and the Harambe Wildlife Express Train Station.

At the Contemporary, the new 2014 quarter was put in the Button A position in an existing machine. Snow White that was originally for Button A was moved to B, Dumbo was moved from Button B to C and the new Winnie-the-Pooh design that was just put in 7/10/2013 for the Button C position was removed. At the Harambe Wildlife Express Train Station at Animal Kingdom only Rex was replaced for Button A with the new 2014 quarter. The other two designs in this machine did not change.

We will post other 2014 quarter locations as the dies are replaced.

New 2014 Coins
 
Sunday, January 5th, 2014
 
 

Since 2011, the Emporium at Magic Kingdom has been the only location with a dated penny design that had the current year on it. This year there will be several locations throughout Walt Disney World that will have the same 2014 penny design.

At the Emporium the 2013 penny for Button A position was replaced with the new 2014 design. We do not know why this was done but the design that was originally for Button C was moved to Button B and the design that was for Button B was moved to Button C.

In addition to the Emporium, the 2014 penny design with Sorcerer Mickey is also at the Contemporary Resort and Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures at Animal Kingdom.

At the Contemporary, the design with Mickey’s face in Button A position was replaced with the new 2014 penny. At Chester and Hester’s, Button A was moved to B, Button B was moved to C and the Alioramus dinosaur design in Button C was removed. The new 2014 Penny is in the Button A position.

We will post other 2014 penny locations as the dies are replaced.
