There was Bluey toys, clothes and even household goods — now Australia’s favorite children’s cartoon has been immortalized in coin form.
Three limited edition $1 Bluey ‘Dollarbuck’ coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint will go on sale, with collector’s items also available to fans through voting.
The coins show colorful images of Bluey herself, the entire Hiller family, and Bluey and Bingo dressed as the grandmothers.

They will go on sale at the Mint Coin Shop at the Canberra Museum and Gallery from 8.30am on Thursday, while participating stores also due to stock availability.
People can call the Mint’s Contact Center from 8:30 a.m. Thursday to secure their coins.
Voting, which takes place on the Royal Australian Mint website, is available here.
“Through this new Bluey program, we hope to cultivate the coin collector of tomorrow,” said Mint Chief Lee Gordon.
“What better way to start your child or grandchild’s coin collection than with a Bluey coin?”
Kate O’Connor of BBC Studios described the coins as “a timeless treasure for fans and collectors”.
And she revealed a “hidden” detail that owners should watch out for.
“Be sure to keep your eyes open for the hidden long dogs!” she said.
Long dogs, for the uninitiated, are small decorative dogs that appear in the background in a number of episodes.
Coins are sold individually or in sets of three.
