A new 8-die machine has replaced the 3-die machine inside Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar at Magic Kingdom, This is the gift store located beside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. This new machine is located in the same location where the 3-die machine was previously located. We are assuming that the designs in the old machine have been retired and we will be showing them as retired with our next update.

A new 4-die hand crank penny machine has been placed on-stage at Disney Springs Town Center in front of the Town Square Firehouse building. This building has restrooms in it and is located near the Coca-Cola Store. All four new designs have the wording Town Square Firehouse on them. The new designs are Firefighter Donald, Firefighter Mickey and Pluto wearing a fireman's helmet. The fourth design has the fire truck Red from the Disney Pixar Cars movie.

A new 4-die hand crank penny machine has been placed on-stage at Disney Spring West Side. This new machine is located near the Disney Food Trucks at Exposition Park.

We have also updated our database and checklists today that includes this new Disney Spring machine and a few other recent changes.

The last of the fifteen 2018 coins is now on-stage at All-Star Movies Resort in the button "B" position. We were told that the die for this 2018 design was placed in the quarter machine at the Stage 1 Company Store at Hollywood Studios. Due to construction in this area the machine was behind construction walls and was not available for anybody to get this new design. The die has been swapped with the Hollywood Studios design in this quarter machine that had Mickey Mouse with a video camera at this resort. We are guessing that this old design will be back on-stage whenever the Stage 1 Company Store quarter machine is placed back on-stage since the design has the Hollywood Studios logo on it.

We have updated our database and all of our listings today. Included in this update are the fourteen 2018 dated coins that are available to get. We have not added the fifteen 2018 coin that we expect to be available in the future at Hollywood Studios but is currently not available.

The last two 2018 dated coins are now on-stage at the Grand Floridian Resort and Rock Around the Shop at Hollywood Studios. For some reason what the vendor had previously posted about what designs were going to be put in those two machines have been swapped. We also posted incorrect design info for these two machines in a previous post and it has been corrected in this post.

This completes the replacement of the fifteen 2017 with new 2018 designs. Keep in mind that we have no way of verifying that the quarter machine is really behind construction walls inside the Stage One Company Store at Hollywood Studios. We have been told this by several Disney Cast Members so we believe this to be true. We first found out about these construction walls being put up the end of October 2017. At that time Disney Cast Members were saying that it would only be for a few weeks. The latest thing we have heard is that the constructions walls could be up all the way to June. Hopefully, this machine will be relocated soon and once we know that this has been done then we will post an update.

To save time for anybody wanting to get all fifteen 2018 coins we thought we would post an update on what we have found by going around to the machines. Yesterday, there were three machines that still had 2017 dies. One of them was Sir Mickey's at Magic Kingdom. The die in that machine was replaced with the 2018 die this morning.

The other two machines that still have 2017 designs are at the Rock Around the Shop at Hollywood Studios and the second floor lobby machine at the Grand Floridian. We're assuming there must be a problem with getting these dies replaced and we will post something as soon as we know that the dies in these machines have been replaced. Also, keep in mind that there is no way for us to check the machine at the Stage 1 Company Store at Hollywood Studios because it's still behind a construction wall and the machine has not been moved to a different location.
