The conversion of all the 3-Die penny machines at Animal Kingdom to $1.00 preloaded zinc penny machines has begun and is rapidly progressing.

Since January 4 when the machines at this park were last checked there have already been four machines converted and most of the other 3-die penny machines have been removed. The machines at Serka Zong Bazaar and Ziwani Traders had not been converted and were still available to press using your own penny and two quarters.

The penny machine at Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures that has a 2021 penny was one of the machines that had been converted. The other machines that have been converted were at Dawa Bar, Curiosity Animal Tours and Restaurantosaurus. The machine at Restaurantosaurus on the front porch of this restaurant had been off-stage since last year but was back on-stage and had been converted.

The machines we saw that were missing were at Island Mercantile that had a 2021 penny, both of the machines at Discovery Trading Company and the machine inside of Restaurantosaurus.

The 3-die quarter machine at Harambe Railway Station was also still available.

Our database and all of our listings and checklists were updated today. Due to Covid-19 we have left the designs for locations that are still closed on our listings. Since our last update all the 3-die machines at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios have been converted to $1.00 preloaded zinc penny machines. We expect these converisons to continue in 2021.

So far this year there have been nineteen new 2021 penny designs. Since our last listings that we did August 3, 2020 there have been 75 new designs added and 44 designs removed.

The 2020 dated pennies at Disney's Art of Animation and Polynesian Village Resorts have been replaced with new 2021 Designs. At the Art of Animation Resort there is a new horizontal design with Mickey inside of the zero of a large 2021 year. At Disney's Polynesian Village Resort there is a new 2021 design with Minnie.

All of the 2020 pennies that were in the two 8-die Magic Kingdom Emporium machines and one of the 4-die machines at the Main Street Railroad have been replaced with new 2021 designs. Four 2021 coins can be obtained from each of these three Magic Kingdom machines that are preloaded with zinc pennies at a cost of $1.00 for each coin. Keep in mind that the other four coins that do not have 2021 on them at the two Emporium machines can be obtained for only a $1.00 more since all eight designs from these machines are available for $5.00

Pictures of these new 2021 coins and the other coins that are in the two Emporium machines are below.

The 2020 pressed coin with the Tree of Life that was available to get from the machine inside Chester & Hester's Dinosaur Treasures at Animal Kingdom has been replaced. The new 2021 design also has the Tree of Life on it.

Outside of Island Mercantile there is a 3-die pressed penny machine that now has a new 2021 design with Pluto. This new design replaces the Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade design that was in this machine.

Both of these new designs are currently available to get by using your own penny and two quarters. The machines have not been converted as of this date to a preloaded zinc penny machine that costs $1.00 for each design.

The two 2020 coins at Epcot have been replaced with new 2021 designs and are located inside Disney Traders and The Puffin's Roost at World Showcase Norway. The new 2021 design at Disney Traders has Dale on top of Chip's shoulders. At the Puffin's Roost is a new 2021 design with Spaceship Earth.
