The Mint says about the set:
"Celebrating 30 years of The Wiggles, The Royal Australian Mint proudly presents this colourful collection, featuring beloved characters The Wiggles and their friends, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wag the Dog and Henry the Octopus. These coins reflect the joy, creativity and popularity of The Wiggles. Emma, Lachy, Simon along with Anthony continue to entertain and delight children worldwide, following the footsteps of the original members, Greg, Jeff and Murray."
Children’s entertainers The Wiggles formed in Sydney in 1991 when original member Anthony Field decided to create a children’s music album, enlisting Murray Cook, Greg Page and Jeff Fatt to help him. The group soon became so successful that they were able to quit their teaching jobs. By 2009, the group had been listed as Australia’s top-earning earning for four years in a row by Business Review Weekly, and were earning around $45 million per year in revenue. The skivvied group, now with new members, performs to around 1 million people per year and have received more than 1 billion streams.
The two one-dollar coins are available in this set only; the four two-dollar coins were also released into circulation and are available separately. |
