someone is selling the 2024 $1 Bluey uncoloured coin on eBay from a Mint Roll so they are obviously in circulation as well.

I thought RAM had missed an opportunity to get kids collecting, but maybe not.

Oh, are they circulating? Was that announced?

[jens coins]

They were in the currency determination.

I have heard that Australia Post are releasing 10 x $1 Bluey coins in a tube in September with the random chance of 2 of them being coloured coins.
Also 2 non coloured coins thru the till at Australia Post.

Okay thanks.

Police charge man over alleged $600,000 theft of Bluey coins:

And apparently all those on the internet were from the robbery as they hadn't been officially released

I saw a police interview on youtube about this.
The person selling them was a collector and bought them for $1.50 each and as they were stolen, the police have taken them.
They also said that they think a large amount of the stolen coins have been put into circulation.

Australia Post also have a carded version of each Bluey coin with an envelope privy for $10 each released on Monday 2nd September

[redlock]

Thanks for the information, Jens.

Not happy with the price though.

[jens coins]

The 10 coins in the tube are only $1 each thru the till, so face value.
The carded ones at $10 each with the envelope privy is a reasonable price for the privy coin. The envelope privy coins usually only come out in the PNC which is $25.95 each
The envelope privy coins are NCLT so you don't need to worry about them Ralf

Okay nice. Any mintages announced yet?
