If you’re a fan of Bluey AND a fan of collectibles, then get ready because The Royal Australian Mint have announced they are releasing a very special line of Dollarbuck coins featuring Bluey, The Heelers and The Grannies!
Royal Australian Mint CEO Leigh Gordon said the Bluey limited-run program has given the Mint an opportunity to re-engage with the wider Australian community that may have previously bought products such as the Wiggles, Mr. Squiggle or Play School.
“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?”
