Magic Kingdom Machines Update
 
Tuesday, January 7th, 2025
 
 

As of January 7, 2025, all of the known 2025 pressed pennies at the Magic Kingdom are on-stage except for the one at Tony's Town Square Restaurant machine that is currently off-stage.

The one 4-die Main Street Railroad machine that has had dated designs in the past does not have any designs with the year 2025. There are four new generic designs that have Cinderella, Pinocchio holding Jiminy Cricket in his hand, Belle holding a rose in jar and Mike and Sully from Monster's Inc.

Both of the 8-die machines at the Emporium that have had dated designs in the past have designs with 2025 this year. Pictures of both machine headers are below showing what the new designs are in these two machines.

2025 Disney World Pressed Penny Update
 
Sunday, January 5th, 2025
 
 

All of the 2024 dated coins have been removed and replaced with either old dies or new coins. There seems to be a problem with some of the new 2025 dies in the 3-die machines because we have had reports of the machines being out of order. We also have heard that the 3-die machines at Oscar's at Hollywood Studios and World Traveler at Epcot have been removed and are currently off-stage.

Last year there were ten 3-die machines that had coin designs with 2024 on them. What we know so far is that there will be two 2025 coins at Animal Kingdom with one being at Discovery Trading Company and the other one at the Dawa Bar. Chester & Hester's Dinosaur Treasures has an unknown older design and will not get a 2025 coin since Dinoland is supposed to close January 13. Hollywood Studios will eventually have only one 2025 pressed penny whenever the machine is brought back. We already reported on Pop Century Resort and Pin Traders at Disney Springs that they will not have 2025 pressed pennies. Of the remaining five 3-die machines, there are four at Epcot. So far, we know that three of them will have 2025 coins but we have not gotten a report yet about The Fjording machine at Norway World Showcase. We also have not gotten a report on the one 3-die machine at Tony's Restaurant at Magic Kingdom. So, unless there are other 3-die machines that get a 2025 design it looks like there will only be six to eight 2025 designs to get from the 3-die machines at Walt Disney World.

There were two 8-die machines and one 4-die machine that had 2024 coins in them last year and they were all at Magic Kingdom. Both of the two 8-die machines at the Emporium have 2025 designs. We have not received a report yet on what the Main Street Railroad 4-die machine has.

 
     
 
2024 Pressed Pennies Are Being Replaced
 
Thursday, January 2nd, 2025
 
 

The 2024 dated pressed pennies at Disney World are starting to be replaced. At the store Pin Traders at Disney Springs Marketplace the 2024 design has been replaced with a design that was removed several years ago. This design has Rex from the Disney movie Toy Story. Recently, Pop Century Resort had it's 2024 penny design removed due to all the machines at this resort being replaced with a new 8-die machine. That was the last Disney resort to have a dated anniversary design. For this year it looks like only the four Disney World theme parks will have pressed penny designs with the year 2025 on them.
