And our research showed us that there were about 50, so people thought.
00:13
There actually are over a thousand of them all around the country.
00:17
So we spent time researching those and selected 10 of the most popular, including the Big
00:23
Banana, the Big Pineapple, the Big Swoop, which is a magpie, and we now have a range

that we're going to sell in the Post Office as of today as a coin collection and also
00:33
stamps.
