URGENT UPDATE: The Royal Australian Mint has just announced the release of a new collection of Bluey Christmas coins, and fans are eager to get their hands on them! This limited edition set features both Bluey and her little sister Bingo, perfectly capturing the spirit of an Australian summer Christmas, and comes packaged in a festive Christmas Tree ornament.
Starting at 8:30 AM AEDT on Thursday, October 16, the Mint will sell these collectible coins via a ballot system at their shop and through authorized distributors. Registration for the ballot opens even sooner—at 8:30 AM AEDT on Monday, October 13, and closes just before the sale on October 15. This is your chance to secure a piece of this beloved series before they sell out!
The new 2025 $1 coloured coins are priced at $20 for the “Bluey Christmas” coin presented in a Christmas card, while the $100 “Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin” comes in a beautiful hanging bauble. As the Mint emphasizes, these coins are not just currency; they “capture the happiness and wonder of Bluey and her family.”
Emily Martin, acting CEO of the Royal Australian Mint, expressed excitement about this new release, stating, “Bluey is loved by fans across the world. We know that last year’s Bluey coins brought joy to many families, and we’re delighted to be releasing more this Christmas.” This sentiment is echoed by Scott Modra, interim director at BBC Studios, who added, “These festive coins capture the heart and playfulness of Bluey and will add a little extra sparkle to holiday celebrations across Australia and beyond.”
The release follows the overwhelming success of last year’s Bluey Dollarbucks coins, which sold out quickly, underlining the high demand for these collectibles. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to celebrate the festive season and start a child’s first coin collection with these delightful pieces.
