Honestly one of my favs, miss them lil guys
Colour coins? That's cursed.
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".

Let's not forget the ones with the Olympic fursona on them!
We also have a Vegemite on toast coin
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.

It's the US, we put presidents and Founding Fathers on our bills. Harriet Tubman is neither, so of course we're not putting her on the twenty.
Instead we should compromise with historical precedent and put Obama on the twenty - he's both a president and a black historical figure and he'll piss off the people pissed off by the idea of Tubman on the twenty even more. It's a win all around!
Anyone on the $20 would be better than Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson. The dude also caused the deepest, by percentage not dollar amount, and longest depression in US history by paying off the national debt.

Salmon P. Chase was neither a president nor a founding father yet he was on a bill. Though he was qualified in that he served as a white man for, I believe, his whole life.
He put "in god we trust" on the money.
That's why he's on a bill.
Granted it's the 10k note and there's kind of an inverse relationship with value of note to respect of person.
Which is why Washington is on the 1 dollar note and Hamilton is on the 10.

That's not a rule. It's just what's been done before. There is no rule that we can't have Harriet Tubman on a bill. The universe will not end if we tell the traditionalists they are welcome to get in a time machine if they want to live in the past.
I appreciate the note about putting Obama on the bill, but the first sentence is incorrect. 😅
The $10 (Alexander Hamilton) and $100 (Ben Franklin) do not feature presidents.

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.
My son just called BS on the picture. Is there a reliable place to fact check this?
I'm not googling today, I'm pissed with my life. Yep I'll be fine tomorrow, just now I'm not, thx for caring, moving on.
It's just a limited edition coin we make a bunch of different ones, but in low quantities

...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.

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 😂

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

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.

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

Every time I see a picture of these I immediately hear the girls saying “Dollarbucks!” In my head.
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!
No we do have commemorative $1 coins, Sacagawea had one and they're fairly common change from vending machines. There's an older Susan B Anthony. Harriet Tubman had one but I've never seen it.
There was a set of quarters where the back was related to each state.
Wikipedia says we're supposed to be running a series honoring inventors from every state but no one wants $1 coins, so...
I don’t know if this is real, but I want it to be.
It is. There was a massive heist of them too, so hopefully this one was legitimately acquired.

The dollar bucks are real!

Maybe we shouldn't have slave owners on our money? I dunno? Just maybe...
