The Story Behind Bluey Coins

Well, this is a family animated series co-produced by animators from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The world premiere took place on September 30, 2018. 

The series quickly gained popularity due to its family values and pleasant atmosphere. This success led to the collaboration of the Royal Australian Mint, Ludo Studios and BBC Studios. And as a result, we got coins. 

Initially, there were such cartoon characters in the series: Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chili. Most often with a bright color print, like the cartoon itself.

In the following issues, there were already different themes and decorations based on cartoon themes. 

Different seasonal editions, for example, Bluey Christmas coins. This is always in high demand. Themed issues attract collectors. 

An animated film is planned to be released in 2027. So the demand for these coins and even Bluey dollar bucks will only get higher.
