Fun for the Whole Family
Collecting these Bluey coins can be a fun family activity. Imagine the joy of unwrapping a coin set featuring your favourite characters or the thrill of finding the rarest coin in the collection. It’s a great way to introduce kids to the world of numismatics and spark their interest in collecting.
Royal Australian Mint CEO Leigh Gordon said the Bluey limited-run program was an opportunity for young Australians to get involved in coin collecting, just like they did with the previous issues from The Wiggles, Mr Squiggle, or Playschool.
“This is the mint’s classic storytelling and social culture commentary through coins,” Mr Gordon said.
“We hope that through this new Bluey program we are cultivating the coin collector of tomorrow.
“What better way to start your child’s or grandchild’s coin collection, than with a Bluey coin?”
Bluey’s Big Impact
The release of these coins is more than just a nod to a popular TV show – it’s a recognition of Bluey’s significant impact on Australian culture. The series has been praised for its positive representation of family life, its educational value, and its ability to tackle complex themes in a way that’s accessible to young children.
Bluey has also become a symbol of Australian creativity and storytelling, showcasing the unique humour and warmth that define our country’s entertainment industry. By featuring Bluey on our coins, we’re celebrating not just a beloved character but also the spirit of Aussie ingenuity and imagination.
A New Chapter in Bluey’s Story
As Bluey fans, we’ve watched this lovable pup grow from a simple TV character into a global phenomenon. The release of Bluey-themed Dollarbucks marks a new chapter in Bluey’s story, one that we can all be a part of. These coins are more than just currency – they’re a piece of Bluey’s history that we can cherish and pass down for generations to come.
So, get ready to join the excitement and start your own Bluey coin collection. It’s time to let the adventures continue, one coin at a time. Wackadoo!
