The Royal Australian Mint Is Releasing A Set Of Rare $2 Wiggles Coins

The Royal Australian Mint has teamed up with Woolworths and The Wiggles to release a set of rare $2 coins in Australia.

The partnership is honouring the children's entertainers for being absolute legends over the past 30 years.

From October 6, there will be eight million coins released that will feature all your favourite characters from The Wiggles, including Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and Dorothy the Dinosaur.

Original Blue Wiggle Anthony Field said in a statement: "The Wiggles virtual concert and collector coins are a great opportunity for our fans to reminisce about their memories over the past 30 years, and make new memories with our new Wiggly family.

"The band, the songs, and even the experiences have changed over the years, but our focus has always been the same - educating children through inspirational music and creativity."

There will be four $2 coins to collect and two different types of $1 coins.

One design will be released each week and you'll be able to get them from participating Woolies supermarkets and online.

The first cab off the proverbial rank will be Captain Feathersword's coin and that will drop on October 6.

Henry the Octopus will debut on October 13, Wags the Dog on October 20, and Dorothy the Dinosaur will be available for purchase on October 27.

Woolworths chief marketing officer, Andrew Hicks added: "The Wiggles are a much loved Aussie icon not only for kids, but a whole generation of parents who grew up singing and dancing along to their songs.

"We're excited to be part of their 30-year anniversary celebration with these limited edition coins, which will allow our customers to own a piece of Wiggly history and share it with their family."

You'll eventually be able to buy the whole album at once, which will set you back $15.
