Quote from: 'Triggersmob' pid='130420' dateline='1760795498'Just checked and the silver coins are selling for $450 - $590.

Only silver coins released? Or are there also coins intended for circulation?

By the way, it seems the RAM took Tanecoins advice from his post on 20-06-2024.

Yes there is a standard coin which is aluminium bronze and shows an image of the Dog family or something, it's sold for like $20 or more in a house shaped packet that is also a tree decoration.

The story I posted referred to it as a "gold" coin and this is typical as in NZ and Australia, our gold coloured $1 and $2 coins are referred to as "gold coins" when in fact they are completely worthless muck metal (Aluminium bronze or brass) and cost centavos to make, hence why the Aussies have a $2 smaller than their $1 and even with us a $2 coin costs around 5 cents to make or something.

Its a figure of speech like "Church fair, please bring a gold coin for entry" "March of dollars for Gaza, please bring a gold coin or 3" and by that they mean a $1 or $2 piece, not an actual gold sovereign! They need to milk this Bluey fad for all its worth. Fads come and go and Bluey has been around for a while.

Just this week I watched some silly Youtube video about how Labubus (A stupid Chinese made cut monster soft toy popularised by dumb celebrities like the Kardashians and various K pop band members) collapsed and the Chinese made plastic rubbish is no longer a scarce accessory but a giveaway item.

No, sorry Ralf, no circulation coin, but I have just put some 2025 coins in yours and Tane's piles.

My grand-kids watch Bluey cartoons. I've even watched some episodes and they aren't the worst thing I've ever seen, but I certainly wouldn't be buying Bluey coins, not even on release.
And this is from someone who got a Mr Squiggle set for nostalgia reasons.
Hurry up, hurry up.

Good to hear about the 2025-dated coins.

I am NOT disappointed that the Bluey coin is not for circulation.

Thanks for the explanation. :cool:
I did not know that.

Me neither

The new Bluey coins are up to enter the ballot on the Mint website.

I suspect that the same will happen to these that happen to the others.

A friend tells me they got a set from their post office.

I'm glad I was unaware of these when they were first stolen and being flogged on eBay. Made me have no interest in any of them.
Money saved for our European tour.
Back now, will look through the change in coming days, although I did my best to use up coins. Never spotted a Grace Kelly Euro unfortunately.

I'm thinking there's a fair chance that all the Bluey coins will see heightened interest in the US, given the popularity of the TV show over there. Wow, if 5% of US kids alone want a Bluey coin, they could be a sleeper for sure.

The coloured circulating $2 coins from the till are nice.

Nice.

At least they maybe more affordable, for me at least, the Trigg has saved some. My guess is the parent dogs will be next year? From what I have learned from my cousin's young children is that Bluey and Bingo are siblings, Bluey acts about 5 and Bingo is younger and female and around 3/4.
