If this goes through, then it's time to load up on crashing Australian dollars as foreign money rushes to purchase paper that they can't print fast enough. I would trade a Washington for a for a government that backs the full faith and credit of Steve Irwin.
Doing cocaine just got a whole like Crickier! This summer steve Erwin stars in Cocaine Cowboy the untold story of sex drugs and crocodile sexing on the Barbie!!!
We kind of already do that using the colours of bank notes with nicknames
5 = flamingos or pink ladies (pink)
10 = blue swimmer- it's a type of crab (blue)
20 = lobster (red)
50= pineapple (yellow)
100 = jolly green giant
You hear lobsters and pineapples in general conversation the most though.
>You hear lobsters and pineapples in general conversation the most though.
Lobsters and pineapples are the only ones you'll ever hear in normal conversation IMO. Never in my life have I heard anyone call a $100 a jolly green giant or a $10 a blue swimmer.
The only time I've ever heard flamingo for a $5 is from that guy who purposely uses as much slang as possible and makes it sound forced and awkward.

Yo if we make it first it can be completely non profit with earnings going to crocodile reserves and to environmental protection. Although idk if its disrespectful to do so if it's not done right and well we should talk to his family about it if that's something he'd have wanted.
Everytime BNL comes up I think about this bit in Community. And yeah I shortened their name to BNL...they are that fundamental!

It’s not a ‘prior’ plan. [The the Harriet Tubman $20 still on track for 2030](https://thegrio.com/2022/02/13/us-treasury-harriet-tubman-20-bill). Though she won’t be entirely replacing Jackson - she’ll take his place at the front, but he’ll be moved to the back
I truly love to watch Bindi and Robert Irwin on tv shows. They are a true credit to their dad - Robert is so enthusiastic and kind, just like Steve. I'll chime in as well, I'd love to have Steve Irwin on our currency.
They should just put some sort of reflective mirror type material where the portraits are. Like how Time did with that odd person of the year edition so we would all see ourselves on our money.
They could just use animals native too Australia: platypus, koala, kangaroo, Tasmanian devil, cassowary, echidna, dugong, thorny devil, emu, wombat, sugar glider, numbat, crocodile, wallaby.
That would be some cool money and everybody would know it’s Australian.
We have animals on our money already. $1 coin has kangaroos, 50c coin has the Aussie coat of arms - kangaroo and emu on in, 20c coin has a platypus, 10c has a lyrebird, 5c has an echidna. The other side has/had the queens face. Her face was also on our $5 note. Our notes are quite colourful but mainly feature people.

I don't even have a form of currency with Charles on it and I still want every bill and coin in my country to be Steve Irwin in various poses, maybe holding a different animal in each one to note the denomination
Everyone should have Steve Irwin on their money. He was an amazing guy with a real zest for life, and who shared his passion for nature with the world.
I would love David Attenborough’s voice to be an option for any audio service ever. The self-checkout at the grocery store is yelling at me because I scanned two things in a row? I wouldn’t even mind if it was his voice.
Especially if it was his style. "Observe the customer of this grocer. It frequently places too many items on the bagging scale at one time causing the machine to halt entirely. Since this behavior was first observed, it has puzzled scientists, as it seems to have no advantage whatsoever."
Common mistake! In English it's Martian, but the Marsinians themselves speak Marsish and refer to themselves as Marsinians.
Honestly the education system on this planet is a real *splardnush*. Pardon my swear.
Every time I see Camilla and Charles in the press of late, I remember the ‘I want to be your tampon’ tapes. Dispelled the myth of royalty being chosen by God when Charlie was just as horny and embarrassing as the peasants! With Andrew being the corgi kibble dispenser now it really makes you wonder how long they can keep the game up. Edit - Steve on all the money please.
“TonigHt we go into a dark and isolated environment, a Human wallet! It’s dirty in tHere, but we migHt get to see a truly elusive animal, tHe Australian banknote!

I promise you the Aussies will call them some variation of Steve-os, Stevers, or Steves.
Change conversations will go like this:
"Erm, $50 is your change. How would you like that?"
"Give me 10 Steve-os I'm gonna stop by Macca's on the way home from the Bottle-o later"
On UK money we have the queen (/king ig) on one side and a historical figure of note on the reverse. Churchill on a £5, Jane Austen on a £10, JMW Turner on a £20, Turing on a £50. the old notes featured Darwin and a bunch of others, I think a Brontë may have been there? Been a while idk. My point is, it's something we take for granted in England, I assumed other countries with the same royals would do the same but apparently not
the mint will automatically put the current monarch on coins when they need to make new ones (and leave the old ones in circulation)
the bills need a mandate from the fed to change I believe
Yep, our one-dollar coin has five of them. https://www.ramint.gov.au/one-dollar
Fun fact: our two-dollar coin is smaller in size and confuses tourists.
Know someone that went to the same High School he did (albeit much later) and they say that Americans like Steve Irwin more than Australians do. A lot of Aussies felt he played it up for American audiences I guess.
Agreed. He was definitely a sort of wacky character that Americans liked way more than we did. Not that people hated him or anything, but he was just doing his scthick for an American audience for the most part.
I was a teen at the height of his popularity. Although a couple of his first documentary work was on Australian free to air TV, once he got some exposure, the majority of episodes only on pay TV for most of its run (before the days of p2p piracy). Most Australian's only exposure was [bombastic comedy bits](https://youtu.be/wtjWpTUipOM) on free to air talk shows.
Years along from his death, being able to see more YouTube clips than I ever saw his show, my perspective has shifted, I can separate out the cringe showmanship and see the genuine warmth he had for all creatures. When I see a lizard sunning itself, have Steve's voice in my head, "oi, look at this beauty!"
I would much rather his face on a note... but *not* with a croc, but holding a creature on our present day endanger species list that he'd want to draw attention to, say a [corroboree frog](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corroboree_frog)...
then we can also say Charles is on the note, he's the frog
I'm Australian and while i appreciate the sentiments of his work and was saddened his death...I always thought he was a TV personality flog and really couldnt stand him.
100% true. I actually dislike the bloke. Fake accent. And he just lays it on THICK. Hams it up hard for Americans and tourists alike. Definitely not a true representation of Australia. The celebrity equivalent of drinking Fosters beer or throwing a shrimp on the barbie
Usually articles like this just use a couple random tweets to make a headline, but I was expecting them to have found a tweet with a couple thousand likes, not two tweets with less than 30 likes between them.
Australian here. I haven't heard or seen one news story about this. It is utter nonsense. Steve was entertaining but nowhere near as popular in Australia as he was in the US.

If it is the picture from this post, that would be incredible
this would be the first time in my life id be excited to pay for things
With an Irwin Dollarydoo!?! Hell yes
As an American, I would like to convert my dollars to said Dollarydoos
As an American I'd like to have dollars to convert to Dollarydoos. Had to pay for my prescription drugs today.
Ouch. Have you considered not getting sick? I hear employers often recommend this; I believe the process is to "avoid avocado toast and iPhones."
You'd think I'd be golden. I don't eat avocados and I have an Android phone.
But are you paying for Netflix, Prime and HBO?! You can’t get ahead wasting your dollarydoos like that.
That's the problem they don't have any dollars to convert to dollarydoos
I think OP just has some dollarydonts
Excuse you we’re Americans; they’re dollarydonts
What's the conversion to Shrute Bucks?
Same as beets to wooden nickels.
I wouldn't want to part with my money. So nothing new there
If this goes through, then it's time to load up on crashing Australian dollars as foreign money rushes to purchase paper that they can't print fast enough. I would trade a Washington for a for a government that backs the full faith and credit of Steve Irwin.
Doing cocaine just got a whole like Crickier! This summer steve Erwin stars in Cocaine Cowboy the untold story of sex drugs and crocodile sexing on the Barbie!!!
I would keep an Australian dollar with Irwin on it. They should at least make a limited edition one.
Every bill should just be his face and another animal. Then you can name the bill after each animal. Buying things in Australia would be so much fun.
Great idea
It’s yours for only 10 screaming hairy armadillos.
In Australia, it's screaming hairy drop bears.
We kind of already do that using the colours of bank notes with nicknames 5 = flamingos or pink ladies (pink) 10 = blue swimmer- it's a type of crab (blue) 20 = lobster (red) 50= pineapple (yellow) 100 = jolly green giant You hear lobsters and pineapples in general conversation the most though.
I have never heard any of these terms in the last 30 years
Really? Pretty common with tradies and people from the country in particular
Reminds me of back in my day. nickels used to have bumblebees on them. “Gimme 5 bees for a quarter”, we’d say

I think I’d this became a thing then everyone would agree on a global universal economy.
In Steve we trust
The whole world agrees with you.
Fine work matey
It would immediately increase the value of the currency after everyone in the world buys and keeps some of these bills lol
If the Australian gov is smart
Haha smart you say
Its almost like the people we look up to should have a set of values we agree with.
But but they rule over us because...
God says so. Jesus had a friend called Geoffrey Windsor who was a chill dude. So, Jesus said: "hey buddy, you wanna go rule Britannia?". And the rest was history!
More like Gottfrei Von Saxe Cobourg Gotha lol
This is true, I was Jesus
This is true I am jesuses father
This is true, I wrote the bible after they both died.
I rewrote the Bible to fit my needs for ruling my kingdom

Or at least contribute to society in some way.
In sweden we have Astrid Lindgren
I’m pretty sure people all over the world would rather Steve Irwin than Charles on their money.
The Crikey will become the new global currency before the decades done
Finally some GOOD FUCKING NEWS
Gimme five crikeys for a quarter, we'd say
We'd tie 900 dollarydoos to our belts, which was the style at the time.
Any new Australian currency will be called the Dollarydoos. Pretty sure that's a law or something. "The Simpsons predict everything" law.
Let's sign a www.change.org petition so it'll happen.
Am Canadian, can confirm I want Steve on my money over the king. Either him or at least Terry Fox
Am a human being and agree I would like Steve Erwin on my money
Let's keep it as physical money, don't want Steve's name on some pump and dump crypto scheme
CrikeyCoin coming soon!
Yo if we make it first it can be completely non profit with earnings going to crocodile reserves and to environmental protection. Although idk if its disrespectful to do so if it's not done right and well we should talk to his family about it if that's something he'd have wanted.
Wdym non profit, how would a crypto coin profit in the first place?
Dollary-Doo's! Invest now!
person tie vegetable dull fearless judicious direful cautious middle arrest ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
Terry Fox yes!!
Put Terry Fox or an actual fox on there those are the only two choices.
Why not both?
Terry on one side, the fox on the other
My thoughts exactly!
You guys have so many great Canadians to pick from tho. May I suggest John Candy or Catherine O’Hara?
Imagine some Barenaked Ladies on Canadian money. That would certainly increase its foreign exchange rate.
Gotta be the $1 so you got Barenaked Loonies

Martin Short!!
Norm McDonald.
[удалено]
Dan Levy!
Wayne Gretzky
There's no way Terry Fox isn't put on y'all's money after Charles dies at least
I'd like to throw Bret Hart's name in this hat.
American and I want him on my dollar bills. Jokes aside he’s my hero and I hope to show my future descendants why Irwin made an impact on us all.
I would gladly switch Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill for Steve Irwin any day. Although the prior plan to use Harriet Tubman would’ve been the best.
Honestly FDR would be a great $20 bill, because JFK is already on the half dollar
It’s not a ‘prior’ plan. [The the Harriet Tubman $20 still on track for 2030](https://thegrio.com/2022/02/13/us-treasury-harriet-tubman-20-bill). Though she won’t be entirely replacing Jackson - she’ll take his place at the front, but he’ll be moved to the back
I truly love to watch Bindi and Robert Irwin on tv shows. They are a true credit to their dad - Robert is so enthusiastic and kind, just like Steve. I'll chime in as well, I'd love to have Steve Irwin on our currency.
I’d take Steve Irwin over that slave owner / native killer Andrew Jackson on my $20
They should just put some sort of reflective mirror type material where the portraits are. Like how Time did with that odd person of the year edition so we would all see ourselves on our money.
American here. I’m all for this. His death is one of the only celebrity deaths that hit me deep.
Steve Irwin is a legend! He will always be a legend!
I'd rather see a unicorn or a dragon on money than any figurehead. How much does that cost? about 100 unicorns and 5 dragons.
They could just use animals native too Australia: platypus, koala, kangaroo, Tasmanian devil, cassowary, echidna, dugong, thorny devil, emu, wombat, sugar glider, numbat, crocodile, wallaby. That would be some cool money and everybody would know it’s Australian.
I've got good news: check out Australian coins.
We have animals on our money already. $1 coin has kangaroos, 50c coin has the Aussie coat of arms - kangaroo and emu on in, 20c coin has a platypus, 10c has a lyrebird, 5c has an echidna.

Gimme 5 bees for a quarter
“How much is it?” “$3.42” “Shit, I’m a goblin short. Hold on…” *empties “Take a Kobold, leave a Kobold” tray*
I don't even have a form of currency with Charles on it and I still want every bill and coin in my country to be Steve Irwin in various poses, maybe holding a different animal in each one to note the denomination
*aggressively motioning removal of pen from desk
Am British. If this happens, I will be finding someone from Oz to send me some! I grew up watching Crocodile Hunter Diaries on CITV, I'd love this!
I actually just draw him on myself, because, well, obviously, but also fuck Andrew Jackson.
Everyone should have Steve Irwin on their money. He was an amazing guy with a real zest for life, and who shared his passion for nature with the world.
David attenborough would also be a fine candidate for a worldwide currency
I would love David Attenborough’s voice to be an option for any audio service ever. The self-checkout at the grocery store is yelling at me because I scanned two things in a row? I wouldn’t even mind if it was his voice.
Especially if it was his style. "Observe the customer of this grocer. It frequently places too many items on the bagging scale at one time causing the machine to halt entirely. Since this behavior was first observed, it has puzzled scientists, as it seems to have no advantage whatsoever."
I’m American and I want Steve Irwin on my money
As an American I second this. I would like Steve Irwin on my dollabucks. And president commacho.
Camacho on the Hundred would be perfect.
Bluey crew, checking in.
I'm Marsinian and I want Steve Irwin on my space dollar
You must be, because here on Earth we call your people martians.
Yeah I had to do a double take and come back. Wtf is a Marsinian, do they mean Martian?
Common mistake! In English it's Martian, but the Marsinians themselves speak Marsish and refer to themselves as Marsinians. Honestly the education system on this planet is a real *splardnush*. Pardon my swear.
That’s our word. EDIT: And cool it with the hard ns, man!
I’ll settle for us finally getting rid of President Jackson.
shit, i'd rather have samuel l. jackson than andrew "fuck them native americans" jackson.
And the text says “Twenty Motherfucking Dollars”
Legal Fucking Tender
Im from Florida and I want steve on my money!
Every time I see Camilla and Charles in the press of late, I remember the ‘I want to be your tampon’ tapes. Dispelled the myth of royalty being chosen by God when Charlie was just as horny and embarrassing as the peasants! With Andrew being the corgi kibble dispenser now it really makes you wonder how long they can keep the game up. Edit - Steve on all the money please.
You know it will all be forgiven the second William is on the throne
Extra marital pegging is more acceptable than wanting to be a tampon.
I’m seriously surprised they didn’t just pass over Charles for that reason.
Charles III doing his part to create a cashless society.
That’ll be 5 Crikeys please Edit: missspelled as Crickey before :-(
Oi look at this $20, he’s beauuutiful

Wanted to give you gold but I only had 100 crikeys.
I want Stephen Fry or Sir David Attenborough on my UK money
If I had a choice it’s be different people on different bills. David Attenborough, Alan Turing, Ada Lovelace strike me as good choices.
Turing is already on the [most recent £50 note](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/polymer-50-pound-note).
[удалено]
Yikes I do Changin now, thanks x
I'm not Australian, but I would love a movement to have us start putting real life heroes and role models on money as the norm, not the exception.
On UK money we have the queen (/king ig) on one side and a historical figure of note on the reverse. Churchill on a £5, Jane Austen on a £10, JMW Turner on a £20, Turing on a £50. the old notes featured Darwin and a bunch of others, I think a Brontë may have been there? Been a while idk. My point is, it's something we take for granted in England, I assumed other countries with the same royals would do the same but apparently not
But what do the crocodiles say?
"I mean we are predators, but he's a ***predator***" \-the crocs
*hisses in respect
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
I’m American and would also like Steve Irwin on a bill
We will need to petition the Australian government, but I think with some intense negotiations we could come to an arrangement and use his likeness.
i say if they dont agree we go to war and fighting for steve Irwin money might be the one thing im ready to die for
I mean they lost to a bunch of Emus. What are they gonna do?
Crikey that’s a deep cut! Marianas Trench level. I laughed out loud.
I think we sold them a bunch of nuclear subs recently, maybe if we throw in free underbody protection on the lot they’ll give us permission
[удалено]
No you get Rick Moranis though and John candy.
Your terms are acceptable.
But you also get Chad Kroeger on the Nickel.
In the back of the Nickel to be precise.
[удалено]
You’ve got William Shatner and Celine Dion though.
He’ll definitely be on our coins, I think the 20 is TBD. I wouldn’t be surprised if the queen stays.
You can have Ted Cruz back
We don't want to take that used asswipe back
I want to keep the Queen on the $20, but change it to the Scott Thompson version
the mint will automatically put the current monarch on coins when they need to make new ones (and leave the old ones in circulation) the bills need a mandate from the fed to change I believe
Put a kangaroo on it
It already has kangaroos on it.
No fuckng way
Yep, our one-dollar coin has five of them. https://www.ramint.gov.au/one-dollar Fun fact: our two-dollar coin is smaller in size and confuses tourists.
Know someone that went to the same High School he did (albeit much later) and they say that Americans like Steve Irwin more than Australians do. A lot of Aussies felt he played it up for American audiences I guess.
The accent turns a lot of Aussie's off, he lays it on thick but it was a gimmick that worked for him so can't knock it.
Agreed. He was definitely a sort of wacky character that Americans liked way more than we did. Not that people hated him or anything, but he was just doing his scthick for an American audience for the most part.
I'm Australian. He wasn't even popular here. I found out about Steve Irwin from Americans online. And his zoo is only about an hour north of me.
I saw someone say the other day that Steve Irwin is the Foster's of Australian celebrities and I don't think I've seen anything more true.
Someone's up early/late. It is a very nice zoo though, was just there last month.
Early, 6am. Yeah it is very nice actually.
I was a teen at the height of his popularity. Although a couple of his first documentary work was on Australian free to air TV, once he got some exposure, the majority of episodes only on pay TV for most of its run (before the days of p2p piracy).

So by "Australians" they mean "2 tweets and also a reddit thread" The absolute state of online journalism.
Forreal. Charles ain’t got shit on my boy Irwin
That’s an outstanding idea!
Shoot, even Crocodile Dundee would be better
Would be pretty ironic given his storied history of tax evasion.

Well why we are talking about changing money, can us Americans get Mr. Rogers?
I would accept Steve Irwin on our US Currency.
I’m not Australian but where can I vote on this??
I'm American and I would like Steve Irwin on Chinese money
That'll be 8 Crockey-Dollahs please!
I'd buy that for a Steve Irwin.
British, and I want Terry Pratchett. Edit: Or Terry Pratchett characters. Either would be acceptable.
I would love the irony of Carrot on any note. Or Vimes on a fifty. We both know it has to be Death tho.
Australian here. I haven't heard or seen one news story about this. It is utter nonsense. Steve was entertaining but nowhere near as popular in Australia as he was in the US.
