Australia Post Launches $2 Bluey ‘Dollarbucks’ Coins as Fans Queue and Stocks Sell Out

Early sellouts show strong collector demand likely to send shoppers checking their post office change.

Overview

  • The new $2 Bluey Dollarbucks collection went on sale Wednesday at participating Australia Post outlets and online, drawing pre‑dawn queues and quick sellouts.
  • Individual uncirculated coins are $20, while a five‑coin tube with a display folder is $34 and carries a one‑in‑ten chance of a special Sleepytime coloured coin.
  • Australia Post says select Bluey and Bingo coloured $2 coins will also reach the public in till change at participating post offices.
  • Seven designs feature Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli in scenes from fan‑favourite episodes such as Baby Race, Camping and Granny Mobile, created with Ludo Studio under BBC Studios licensing.
  • Demand overwhelmed online sales and fed rapid resales — with one listing at $999 — echoing the 2024 Bluey coin frenzy that was marked by a major warehouse theft and soaring secondary‑market prices.
