Are these put into circulation or just purely collectors items?
They are legal tender but rare so their price in 10 years can be anyone's guess, maybe around $100.
I meant is it like the Sacagawea coins in the US or more like the mint runs they do?
Sacagawea dollar coin was put into general circulation, and could be obtained at any US bank. But everyone thought they were cool, so people would almost never spend them. While a mint run costs more than the face dollar value of the coin.
It's unfortunate too because coins last way longer than bills, but they have never been successful at getting people to spend them in the US.
I would love to see 1, 2 and $5 coins being used... but probably will never happen here.

Is that really a dollarydoo, or is it like a token for the Australian equivalent of Chucky Cheese?

I don’t know if this is real, but I want it to be.
It’s making me nostalgic for Chuck E Cheese.

The US doesn't feature Harriet Tubman on the $20 because it's full up with racist, slavery-denying fools who still have the mindset of an Andrew Jackson voter and would vote a wheel of racist cheese into the office of president over an eminently qualified black woman any day of any week.
Ironically, Andrew Jackson was reviled at the time. Most Americans were shocked that he got elected, and I'm unsure if he or Woodrow Wilson did more damage to the country.
Hoover, (Depression Austerity),and Truman, (Sent first troops to Vietnam), are up there too.

...do other countries not have just random images on their coins because the government went "fuck it, why not"?
Nintendo lawyers are frothing at the mouth.
It says "TM" four times so that should be enough.
Austrailia doesn't either. This was a collectible coin. Their normal dollar coil is a few kangaroos on one side and Queen Elizebeth II (now it's King Charles) on the other.
Yeah, but all collectable coins can be used as regular coins if need be

I'm mad. I didn't know about this until now. How could they make this limited edition?
You are going to be even more mad to learn that they were basically impossible to get for a while cos someone stole a bunch of them
As a father with a toddler... Totally a justified theft.

This isn't changing the picture though - this is our new currency, the 'dollarbuck'.
Current exchange rate is 1AUD = 1 Dollarbuck
The fact they added the little "buck" is what really makes this 😂

lol. bluey.
Bluey is Australia's finest export, other than John Robertson.
Aussie currency is the best currency for so many reasons.

Every time I see a picture of these I immediately hear the girls saying “Dollarbucks!” In my head.
