At the beginning of the year, [Monopoly asked the Internet to vote for the tokens](http://time.com/4630772/monopoly-token-madness/) that they wanted to see in the next edition of the game, ranging from classics like the top hat to newbies like [Hazel the Cat, who replaced the iron token in 2013](http://gizmodo.com/5982075/monopolys-iron-token-is-dead-long-live-the-cat). Now, with the voting results in, Monopoly has revealed that the iconic thimble, the wheelbarrow and the boot will be departing to make way for new tokens: a T-rex, a rubber ducky, and a penguin. The new tokens will be making their debut when the newest version of Monopoly comes out this fall. Until then, you can peep the new tokens below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4705248/new-monopoly-tokens-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4705248/new-monopoly-tokens-2017/"},"headline":"Meet the New Monopoly Token Animals You Wanted to Replace the Classic Ones","datePublished":"2017-03-17T16:33:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:59.323Z","description":"Three new Monopoly tokens will make their debut this fall","url":"https://time.com/4705248/new-monopoly-tokens-2017/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Games","viral","monopoly","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt33d1353ab33c1fc7/6988bed5bc6cfcb0353e08d4/monopoly-new-tokens.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt33d1353ab33c1fc7/6988bed5bc6cfcb0353e08d4/monopoly-new-tokens.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Monopoly-new-tokens","caption":"","creditText":"(Courtesy: Monopoly)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4705248/new-monopoly-tokens-2017/","name":"Meet the New Monopoly Token Animals You Wanted to Replace the Classic Ones"}}]}] ```
