DETAILS

Australia’s first ever coloured five cent coin is pairing up with the 20 cent coin in a bright and cheerful two coin set to celebrate 25 years of the Bananas in Pyjamas on ABC KIDS. Enchanting young viewers with imagination-filled ideas, B1 and B2 and friends make this set a must-have for gift buyers, young collectors and nostalgic fans.

In a 1967 children’s song by Carey Blyton, the world was introduced to the imagination-filled idea of pyjama-clad bananas running down stairs in duos, chasing teddy bears on Tuesdays. The song was soon adopted into the repertoire of the beloved Australian children’s television program Play School, where it became familiar fare for the country’s preschoolers. As the years passed, the song and its banana stars were turned into an animated story on Play School, before having such an impact that the storyline was spun off into its own show in 1992.
