Bluey fans can now get their own dollarbucks!

But there's a catch, and people aren't happy about it...

What to expect from Bluey's World

Attention all Bluey fans!

The Australian Mint is releasing highly anticipated Bluey Dollarbucks Coins this June. 

These limited-edition coins will feature our favourite Blue Heeler pup and her family and are sure to be a hit with kids and collectors alike.

However, after the news was shared online, some fans were left less than impressed after seeing the terms and conditions...

"Won't have a chance"

While this should be exciting news as kids will get the chance to own a piece of their favourite show, people took to social media to complain about the ballot system.

"So Joe Blow won't have a chance because you know that it's a rort when Australian Mint is the only way of getting them!! Just like most coins, you get no chance as the bots always get them," one person wrote on Facebook.

But someone replied, "It's much fairer now, bots can't buy them. I get lots of coins from them each month."

But someone else quipped: "Every time I have tried or heard about others trying, you always see that no one has a chance.

"Loading these websites is ridiculous when trying to buy on demand, it's giving Ticketek flashbacks trying to buy Taylor tickets."

However, others said they'd still "try their luck" and that they were excited about the launch.
