@mark I fricking need this coin. I think I like Bluey more than my kids 😅

@djvdq It is, and i say this with no small amount of gravity and zero sarcasm, probably the most important children's programing in the English-speaking world at this time.

(I scope the comment due to my own ignorance, not due to any inability for people most comfortable with other languages […]

@mark I watch Bluey in my native language (Polish), it's still great 😄

@mark dont forget the time Australia commissioned furry artists for a sports event (citation needed I lost the images)

Not just any sports event, it was the 2020 Olympics, commissioned by Woolworths - one of our largest supermarket chains in the country

(And our Royal Australian Mint - honestly it was just a wild ride the whole time)

@mark I cannot tell if this is a toy or real Australian currency. The involvement of the Mint makes me think it may be real. https://www.bluey.tv/blog/royal-australian-mint-unveils-bluey-commemorative-coin-collection/

It’s legal tender. In Australia we have quite a few commemorative coins that get released and they are all still legal tender. Some go into more general circulation and some get limited release like this one.
