As an Australian, Australia doesnt exsist…
Australia was just a myth, made up to scare the British lower class, but its a joke that got way out of hand and now nobody knows how to stop it
Wait wait wait… are you saying you don’t have any commemorative coins in the USA?! Holy shit I never realised! We have special coins all the time in Europe. My kids absolutely love when they find a special 2€ coin with some cool engraving on it.
How sad! You could have so many, too! By default each country in the Euro zone has its own heads, while tails are always the same. Easy peasy!Maybe we shouldn’t have slave owners on our money? I dunno? Just maybe…
I don’t know if this is real, but I want it to be.

The dollar bucks are real!
*Bluey bucks
It is. There was a massive heist of them too, so hopefully this one was legitimately acquired.
Not a Limited Edition. I handled lots of these over the years.
Honestly one of my favs, miss them lil guys
What the fuck? 10 year anniversary? That hurts
10 euro coins are pretty common across Europe, but only legal tender in the issuing country.
Hah, that probably pissed off a lot of people. I love it.
You know what pissed a lot of people and felt VERY good? When the girl who sang the French hymn at the Paris Olympics opening was black. Oh boy did it feel right
I bet there are some people out there who refuse to accept these coins as change, lest they catch “The Gay”.
I get it (and it makes me happy, too), but would I would like to see is nobody getting pissed off. I know it will never happen in my lifetime, but I wish I could see that coin being as innocuous as Abraham Lincoln on a penny
That wildly political figure? For real though, with all the confederate flags I’m surprised it isn’t more controversial
They probably just know saying “Ew, I dont want no tyrant Lincoln on my money” looks really bad even now
out of stock
I’m heartbroken
Let’s not forget the ones with the Olympic fursona on them!
…do other countries not have just random images on their coins because the government went “fuck it, why not”?
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.
I would put Nuking Hiroshima and Nagisaki on the list of Truman issues as well.
At the very least Nagisaki. One could argue that the first bomb was necessary after we saw how hard the Japanese fought on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Japan had already surrendered after Hiroshima, and the only condition they asked was that The Emperor not have to step down. I hindsight I don’t think that would have been an issue as he apparently wasn’t the driving force behind the war.
For the world and Japan certainly. But as things that affected Americans, those advisors were far worse.
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.
And poor old Hamish and Andy can’t get themselves one yet.
Master chief on a $117 bill please.
