Let's hope the Heeler family has set aside a collection of commemorative coins for Bluey, as the limited edition $1 coins from the Royal Australian Mint have sold out, and buyers with deep pockets are going crazy on eBay.

The special edition Bluey coins, released by the Royal Australian Mint last week, are now selling for almost $900 on eBay, with some sellers setting even higher prices.

Last week, the internationally famous blue heeler was featured on three coins as part of a set, which sold for $55.

By Monday morning, some three-coin sets were selling on eBay for $888, with one seller claiming they had already sold 17 sets at that price.

In one bizarre case, a seller listed the special set for $100,000.

This seller previously had a 99.

3 percent positive review rating.

The coin collection that hit the shelves last week featured Bluey, the Heelers, and the grannies, following in the footsteps of The Wiggles, Mr.

Squiggle, and Play School, who had previously received this special honor.

The much-loved Australian TV character Bluey will feature in a new set of 'Dollarbuck' $1 coins to be released by the Royal Australian Mint on Thursday.

The internationally famous blue heeler dog will be featured on three coins as part of the set: one with Bluey alone, one with the Heeler Family, and one with Bluey dressed up as The Grannies.

The coins will be available in individual coin cards as well as specially-made three-coin envelope sets by Bluey animators Ludo Studio, which will also include a sticker set.

Royal Australian Mint chief executive Leigh Gordon said the limited run was an opportunity for Australians to get involved in coin collecting following the success of The Wiggles and Play School sets.

'This is the Mint's classic storytelling through coins,' Mr.

Gordon said.

'We hope that through this new Bluey program we are cultivating the coin collector of tomorrow.

' BBC Studios director of brands and licensing ANZ Kate O'Connor said the coins captured the 'playful essence of the beloved series' and were a 'timeless treasure.

' Created by Australian animator Joe Brumm, Bluey rocketed to international success after the TV show about the blue heeler's life with her family in Brisbane first aired in October 2018.

This week, she became the official face of Queensland, fronting the Sunshine State's biggest tourism campaign in more than a decade.

Tourism bosses are hoping her popularity will lead to fans wanting to see 'Bluey's world, for real life.

' 'For the past six years, Bluey and the backdrop of Brisbane have captivated audiences globally, and now it's time to bring the world here to Queensland – Bluey's world for real life,' Queensland Premier Steven Miles said.

'We have the world's best lifestyle, the best beaches, the best cities, the incredible outback, the Great Barrier Reef, and people who love welcoming visitors to our unbeatable backyard.

I invite everyone to come and experience for themselves the magnificent place the Heeler family couldn't bear to move away from.

' To mark the start of the campaign, the world's biggest game of Keepy Uppy – a Bluey favorite – was played across the state.

The world record attempt had more than 700 people keeping a giant red ball in the air for as long as possible, across multiple Keepy Uppy games spanning almost 2000 km across Queensland.

The new tourism campaign comes months before the November 7 opening of Bluey's World in Brisbane, where fans will experience a re-creation of Bluey's renowned home with impressive (for real) life-size sets and interactive play.
