Australia recently released 26 new Dollar coin designs, and A-Z of everything Australian. But I don't know what they are, and neither does J.J. McCullough - in this video we go head to head guessing what each coin is, and see who knows the most about Australian Culture!
JJ's video is LIVE HERE: czcams.com/video/RqCU31q_7Qg/video.html
Check it out to see who wins!
:D love your vids dude dont stop doing what your doing, I love your banknote videos
Im Australian and i love ur vids u are so underappreciated keep doing what your doing :D
Half-Asleep Chris I’m very happy to give you all the coins from A-Z
Half-Asleep Chris Ok!
cool
Believe me, you have no _idea_ how iconic the Hills Hoist is. We literally have one in our backyard. I can even see it from my bedroom window.
That's crazy. I've got one too, I just never really thought of it as iconic.
Is there a better example of these men not understanding Australia than them stating that a founding father of Australia is more significant than a clothesline? I think not.
You've got that right!!
Iconically up there with the Victor Lawnmower and 'cask wine' :)
They put Henry Parkes on a special $5 note in 2001 to celebrate 100 years of nationhood so I guess the mint thought he'd had a go already and plus a Hills Hoist is FAR more iconic than he is :)
@@azzureone78 Ah man, I saw that banknote all the time when I worked in a foreign exchange bureau - admittedly only just now connected the dots about who it is!
Chris: *guesses logically*
J.J: *guesses logically*

@@codeword632 still it would never have made it on a coin because it is so political. same reason why the barrier reef didn't appear on a coin

The “Hills Hoist” is actually a very important in Australian cultural identity- it was one of the very first Australian inventions that was used by common people all over Australia and was an object that was in nearly every backyard in Australia. It was used by children to swing around on and was incorporated into children’s play to be turned into magical castles with some clean sheets. It was also an example of how an Australian battler could Invent something that would improve the world and make him a fortune. One of the Australian identity is that we have is that of buying a house with a backyard that includes a pumpkin patch and a hills hoist.... We even have a song that everyone knows the words of that incorporates this imagery into the song.... It goes something like “give me a home amongst the gum trees with lots of Plumtree a sheep or two and a kangaroo... a close line out the back... Veranda out the front and an old rocking chair”
Just like that only spelled better
My house actually came with one... we used it briefly, although Australia is now in an eternal Monsoon and it has become moot.
No one:
J.J: ok so i choose emoo
Litteraly everyone in Australia: *ANGER INTENSIFYS*
Could partially be his accent?
Bloody Canuck can't pronounce ANYTHING
@@matt_tails no it's not an accent thing, north americans just dont know how it's pronounced. it's eemyou (as in the word you) not eemoo (like a cow sounds)
True
Well I say that...
*pls don’t attack me 💀*
"is a washing line really that important" MATE literally EVERY stand alone house has one it's an icon! I got a new one a couple years ago and it looks exactly the same as the one at my grandparent's place that's over half a century old!
Aussie invention too
And what else would be the stumps in the backyard cricket match?
@@Musikur The rubbish bin
Our house is 131 years old, still has its Hills Hoist.
Hills hoist is totally iconic, we strap goon bags (bags of wine) to them at parties or just for general purposes.
GOON
OF
FORTUNE
!!!!
Who the heck is Harry Parks?
M should have been for Miced Volvos
i'm not gonna like your comment because there are 69 likes
Rory .A Ahahahahahah My name is Rory to!
I know I shouldn't have, but JJ coming up with a very poignant moment in Australian history for "M", but the Australians just going "MEAT PIE" made me laugh.
J J: Emus are beloved birds in Australia
Me: Remember the Emu war that the Emus won
Everyone knows about the Emu war, everyone. Barely a war, a few drunk blokes with a malfunctioning gun is a more accurate description. Emus are still beloved.
@@albertoftasmania But they are eem-you's not ee-moos a typical American and Canadian mistake. Emus do NOT moo.
@@glenscott5231 I know, I'm not an American or Canadian.
They killed 1,000 emus and went through 20,000 rounds of ammunition
The Hills Hoist is far more iconic than a founder of our nation. If you didn't get shouted at by your mum for swinging about on the hills hoist and breaking it, you haven't lived.
Guess I’m dead then *cries in has never been in Aussie land*
When I was 4 my dad would lift me on the hills hoist so could swing in the wind
Yeah well Mum was only mad because it meant the adults couldn't play 'wheel of goon' at the party on the weekend
@@jinx5886 0_0
I'm jealous
Exactly! You can’t play goon ‘o fortune without it!!!
As an Australian, I don't even know who Henry Parkes is, I have a vague knowledge, but the Hills Hoist is ICONIC, invented by an Australian, without which we wouldn't have such excellent games as Goon of Fortune
Read some books please
_What?_
How on Earth did you escape learning about Federation every year at school?
You don’t know who Henry Parkes is?
@@Tottenham44 I do now that I googled him after this video
I didn’t even know who Henry parks is either lmao as someone from Western Australia all we learnt about was the western Australian secessionist movement 🤣🤣🤣
As a Australian I would like to say we don’t call Aboriginals “Aborigines”
People from the culture find it very offensive, so if you wanna talk about them call them Aboriginal.
Or more appropriately, First Nations people. I was taking a First Nations class and the lecturer said it’s more appropriate to say First Nations People
True I have never called Aboriginals Aborigines because it’s rude offensive
I love that JJ suggested such thoughtful options, and certainly many of these rightfully deserve respect...but that would be overlooking the most Australian thing of all and that is why take the high road when you can take the piss instead 😂
hills hoist is in fact a very cultural thing and about the only "H" work
Came here for this comment
The "H" have totally different vibe for me.
How can it be a cultural thing if everyone in the world has them? Wouldn't it be a bit like Swedes saying refrigerators are a cultural thing, or Americans saying that light bulbs are a cultural thing?
@@egodreas because its not a "clothes line" like you would find, it is a design that was different from other places, and was found everywhere
i guess the easiest way would be, "everywhere has cheese, but spray cheese is american" ?
therefor it is a very cultural thing
@@copuis But it's just one of those freestanding rotary ones, isn't it? I've probably had one in every house I've ever lived in. As have most of my neighbours and friends and relatives. So it might be an Australian invention, and I do remember seeing a lot of them when I've been down there, but then again I see them everywhere I go. Never occurred to me that Australians would consider them iconic.
I'm an Australian myself, and I think JJ might be overestimating how much Aussie history most people know. But in general, the cynic in me says that they are avoiding anything controversial or serious at all, but in saying that Hills Hoists are a big deal.
9:14 "I mean, they've got all koalafications."
My grandfather was a jackaroo… It’s a type of worker amongst the cattle stations or shearing stations in the outback who usually did all the odd jobs. If they went out and repaired the fenceline and counted the livestock they were called Boundry riders. Jackaroos look after the livestock and help with the rounding up and sharing… Although shearer’s do most of the shearing work.
The jackaroo is the male version the jillaroo is the female version.
So, how long did you spend rolling those coins to get them in the right place?
Ah yes the REAL question here.
About 2-4 minutes per coin! It was 50/50 heads or tails, then I just had to get it aligned and relatively central. It looks super cool though!
@@HalfAsleepChrisso about 30 mind to an hour on those small sequences?
I tip my hat to you, good sir.
Worth it, that's a really cool effect.
Half-Asleep Chris how did ya get the coins?
If America did this, A would be “America” and U would be “USA”
Cringe comment.
E would be Eyesore State Flags
Or E would be Eyesore State and City Flags
@@IkeOkerekeNews your parents made a cringe child
T would be "The United States"
YES a hills hoist is a a very iconic thing I everyone’s childhood
Hills Hoist is a HUGE part of Australian life. It might seem like just a clothes line, but we all had them in the backyard, and when Mum wasn’t looking.... it was a swing set to play on.... just don’t get caught or you won’t get your cup of Milo at lunchtime 🤣
As an Australian I thought this was really interesting! I didn’t realise how much you guys actually know about Australia, most people have just heard of the Harbour Bridge and Kangaroos. Echidnas are also one of my favourite animals too!
JJ McCullough, what a fun crossover! Fish and chips and Nessie? Now those are creative British coins.
You again why can I not excape you
Oh no, this wont end well
I can say as an Australian that for me I guessed midnight oil, they are really famous here and , along with AC/DC, they are iconic to Australia
I know I'm a bit late but Here is what it should've been. (As an Australian)
A: ANZACs
B: BBQ
C: Cricket
D: Didgeridoo
E: Esky (Since there's no other good ones.)
F: Footy
G: Great Barrier Reef. (Or Goon, never forget casket wine)
H: Hills Hoist (If esky is on the list then hills hoist certainly must be.)
I: Indigenous Australians/culture (It might be a little offensive but it's certainly better than a random biscuit)
J: Jacaranda (They aren't native to Australia but they're still iconic trees. Plus, the only Jack and Jill I know went up a hill.)
K: Kangaroo
L: Lamington
M: Melbourne Cup, or MCG. (Pies might be iconic, but not as iconic as gambling or watching the sports at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.)
I live in Australia and am an Australian coin collector and yes, the hills hoist is very significant
Not going to lie most Australians don’t care about are founding Father, and yes we are weird.
We have a dollar coin already with Henry Parkes on it so we kinda do
No we don’t. (I mean we don’t care not we don’t have him on the bill.)
@Mr. I Don't Upload So Good He was on the five dollar note for a while around 2000 instead of the Queen.
i would agree with that if i wasn't from the Tenterfield Shire where everything is named after him bc he did the famous speech here
yeah i was like "who the hell is that guy"
I adore Australia. I lived there for a majority of my life and I think it's amazing! I made a bunch of memories there. Bravo Chris !!! You did it again 👏!!!
With the ANZAC coin, there was also a $2 coin that actually had a red poppy on it (I think it was an enamel paint)
Super impressed with JJ's knowledge of Australia. Even if he got many wrong. He was definitely going deep!
"Is a washing line more important than the founder of Australia?"
Louis LL. Nicholls I got my answer!
Much more important -another Australian
Louis LL. Nicholls very much so- an Australian
J.J. McCullough I swear I don’t even know if he is the founder, i thought Deakin was also pivotal and that
Is he gonna dry my washing or what?
7:15 yes, yes it is. everyone in australia is proud of us inventing it. it is verrry iconic. the playground near me has a hills hoist for children to play on. everyone loves hills hoists
Crying with laughter at JJ’s guess of ‘Jumbuck’ getting captioned as “Jump back” 😂😂😂
Considering an Aussie invented the Hills Hoist - it makes sense.
Can we all just appreciate how happy Chris was with his qualifications koala joke
Koalifications*
Lived 17 years of my life as an Aussie without knowing who Henry Parkes is, I think that shows something...
As an Australian I realy enjoyed seeing foreigners try to pronounce some of these words 😂
7:19 Australia was once a very innovative country. There is so many inventions we take granted for today, that were originally from Australia, 'washing line' being one of them.
Wi-Fi being another
@@william207able and airplane's black boxes
@Alpern Erol it still is, unfortunately most of the inventions are finalised overseas now due to the scientific brain drain from CSIRO etc
...and the Ute, spray-on skin and polymer notes.
Along with the selfie
8:04 honestly, I don’t even know what those are. Steve Irwin should have been on the coin
Oh come on. Try them already.
The Hill's Hoist is more than just a clothesline - it's an iconic fixture of every backyard, something kids for generations have been yelled at for swinging on. I think in the popular imagination it conjures nostalgia for backyard cricket matches and barbies on hot summer days. I think now they're slowly starting to disappear from backyards with just about every house having a clothes dryer these days, but at least for now they're pretty iconic.
I dont know if you will actually see this chris but I am so glad that I stumbled across your videos. I was suggested Ralph's Cat Castle video by youtube. Keep doing what you do great Chris I love your videos.
- Drew from Massachusetts
Edit: thank you so much Chris the Heart and reply means the world to me.
Thanks a lot Drew!
Thank you so much Chris the heart means the world to me. I just watched you're last PO box video from like 5 months ago and I would to send you some mail!
- Drew
Bro if you edit the comment when you have the heart it will be removed.
I haven't seen this whole video yet, but I know it will be amazing.
Me to all of his videos are great !❤️
I agree.
Thank you mate for doing this video
Jumbuck: exists.
This guy: "Jump Back"
Right?!? We were crying with laughter when we saw that😂😂😂
You Need To Do More Collabs Like This. Now Anxiously Anticipating Part 2!
I think you should do a collab with Christopherl Collects . Apart from that im super early and have nothig else to say
Something was in the works, but then lockdown... soon!
Omg yes I watch him aswell
@@HalfAsleepChris I can't wait.
Chris: maybe try and at home and try to beat me!
Me: *Laughs in upside down*
Chris “Is a washing line really that culturally important” me (who is Australian) “YES!”
They should’ve put Irwin on a banknote
@Kim Jong-un I could not agree with you more!! Steve is/was a latter day Aussie icon, known and loved the world over...Oh! and as an aside, please get well really soon, coz...
ya sister scares me even more than you do!!
I thought you ere dead
Kimmy, so glad to see you back
Irwin was truly cringe worthy, along with cigarette selling bogan Hogan.
But, to satisfy the sheeple Herd perhaps Irwin on a $0 value 'fantasy note' with a sting-ray on the other side.
H e hasn't been dead long enough
chris: *"dollary doo"*
me: *someone hand this guy and Australian passport*
We found this entertaining! Australia Post for A is very fitting. Australia post was the fabric of modern Australia each town in Australia generally has a beautiful old post office. It is one of Australia’s most recognised and trusted brands
10:48 I’ll change J to Captain Stirling which is the founder of swan valley/ swan river
We need more of this collaboration Chris..
I am an Australian and I am kind of offended that you wouldn’t think of the hills hoist as culturally significant most kids will have at least once swung around them because they are on a swivel which is so much fun and an esky is like a big cooler that you put your drinks in and fill it with ice and keeps them cold like all day specially for barbecues
The Hills Hoist is one of the most famous and iconic Australian inventions. Everyone has one in their backyard.
HI Half -Sleep Chris great collaboration with J.J . Mc Cullough , I am from Australia and also collect banknotes and coins looking forward to more of your videos on CZcams
Henry Parkes was nothing like Washinton. He wasnt even ever PM. I really dont understand how he founded the country. In fact he died in 1896, 5 years before federation. Can someone please explain how he founded Australia. Also the hills hoist is quite iconic in Australia, as an Australian i say hills hoist is best. Especially sinces it was Barton that actually founded Australia
A Person He helped make the idea of federation once in a famous speech called the Tenterfield oration in 1889 kinda like how George Washington was one of the founding fathers and moulded
what being a president is.
NachoCheese oh ok cool thank you. I really didnt know that much about him but i was so confused about how he founded Australia since he died before federation. Thank you for the explanation
Parkes was important enough that they named a town after him, as well as a dozen other things. He could hardly be a PM of Australia because Australia didn’t exist. He was however the Premier of NSW, the founding and most important colony, for a record 5 terms. That the most powerful premier sought a united country rather than champion individual “states rights” was the driving force behind the unification. Federal Govt necessarily means less power for your own state.
@@albertbatfinder5240 Most important?!
*indignant Victorian noises*
I really hope they put Ned Kelly on a coin. Check out Extra History's series on him.
Chris: is a clothes line that signifiant
all his Aussie fans: yes!!!!
thanks for doing coin challenges in my Country!
07:10 hills hoist so culterually significant to us that is made it into Sydney Olympic opening ceremony
Now all that’s left is the collab between Tom Scott and CGP Grey.
the hills hoist is iconic, all Australian kids have experienced getting yelled at by their parents for swinging on the hills hoist in the backyard. The hills hoist is truly a staple in Australian suburbia
"Is a clothes line really culturally significant?"
You have to remember this is australia
5:02 beloved? We had a war on Them!
Hey, just letting you know that if you show a picture of a deceased indigenous Australian you should put a content warning as images of deceased people are taboo in Indigenous culture. Apart from that, really enjoyed the video :)
A follower of JJ, I'm happy to have found your channel via your colab.
I live in Australia. And I had absolutely had no idea what hills hoist is. And not I do
You bring us all joy during the Covid pandemic I don’t know what I would do with out you
Meat pie is my surable answer for letter "M" because this is the national food of Australia
Even though it's English.
I honestly would have put Milo down
Either that or chicken parmie
How have I lived in Australia my whole life and never known these coins existed!
Some of these answers are hilarious but good video. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Well done lads. I’m Australian and I didn’t get them all either but every one makes perfect sense, even Lamington. Thanks for doing this mate. Love from Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi half Asleep Chris. I used your Music in my video and I love your videos. Can you do more cat updates on Ralph? I also have a friend from Australia!
In Australia they pronounce emu as “eemyu”
As an Australian
E, eskys are everywhere, but more importantly, just like britain calling all vacuum cleaners "hoovers" we often call ice boxes "eskys"
I agree with the rest of the comments, our history schooling of our own country doesn't really talk about the founders, but those Hills hoist clotheslines are *everywhere* .
I haven't seen an Iced Vovo in ages they are sickeningly sweet. Go for the other bickies
A jackaroo/jillaroo is like an apprentice farmer! They're fairly respected too, a lot of them are being trained to take over the farms as they move away from being family businesses (although they can still be family!)
Meat pies are usually Steak/beef. If it's a different meat it'll state it, "chicken and vegetable" is also quite common.
Best. Crossover. Ever.
Omg right!
Me before watching: M is going to be Meat Pies isn't it?
Eyyyyuup!
Might as well made B, British
The coins are a marketing device instigated by Australia Post, and they were not released directly into general circulation. That's why a lot of the choices are a bit "Really? You went with that?". You could only obtain them in your change from a purchase at an Australia Post outlet, or through direct purchase from the mint. There will be some in general circulation now.
Hills hoist is actually extremely common and culturally significant and Henry wasn't really the 'founding father'
Who came From JJ’s Channel, and who started from Chris’?

Harry Parkes had very little to do with founding the country. Many other people worked harder and accomplished more than he did. He is barely taught about in Australian schools.
His name kind of rings a bell, but not really. A hills hoist on the other hand? Very suitable
His name is Henry Parkes, and yes he was extremely influential in achieving federation.
He was very instrumental in creating popular support for nationhood, and organising the campaign efforts. He really go the ball rolling. He is said to have been a great orator, his Tenterfield oration is one of those throng I definitely remember reading about at school.
Yeah he really got federation happening. If he hadn’t died five years before 1901 I think he would have been remembered more. Although he helped achieve federation, he wasn’t there to write the constitution or serve in federal parliament.
But I was taught about him at school. Like many times. He was always featured in any chapter on federation or colonial NSW.
PrimeBandet yeah i agree of sorts. He has a place named after him and in there (i forgot if its an observatory or what its called...).
Anna Matilda totally agreed
Lamingtons don't actually normally have jam inside - although I genuinely had to think for a second, because you said it so straightforwardly that I thought, 'wait, do they?'.
Hills Hoists are definitely a classic Aussie thing. My kids climb up on to it and swing around. I'm proud to say though that I have never played Goon of Fortune.
I've seen Hills Hoists in the USA and Mexico and Europe and never realized that they were culturally significant for Australia. Actually I never even knew what they were called. For non-Australians it seems a bit random to put one on a coin. I'm not saying Hills Hoists aren't great, just that for non-Australians it's not exactly obvious. Like, imagine if Canada had a coin with a picture of a plastic garbage bag on it. Technically, garbage bags were invented in Canada, but who would know that? And obviously garbage bags are a big part of Canadian culture, but not in a way that anyone really celebrates. So that's about how random putting a clothesline on a coin seems. Obviously it makes sense if you're Australian.
my two favorites in one video
I can feel his happiness when you get that moment to collab with your fav CZcamsr. Nice video Chris and J.J
I was so convinced that m was gonna be milo but I was disappointed
"Is a washing line really that culturally significant? " Haha, yes! That and the dual-flush dunny are the 2 great Aussie inventions
First British collectibles, now Australian! Imagine if every country issued 26 alphabetical collectible coins! Awesome vid too!
I hope more do!
Hah, 'founding father'. That's a good one mate.
J.J was thinking too much we don’t take much to seriously 😂
got one of these today - very cool
I got esky right, and that won me the whole game actually.
8:09 They're a popular biscuit here Malcolm (professional aussie)
Ngl never had one or even knew what one was
No.
The best part was choosing that Geelong v Hawthorn photo, one of the most iconic rivalries (yes I am a Geelong fan)
loved this video
I love how Chris is guessing normal things and JJ makes all these super n e r d y guesses 🙃
Aaaahhh, JJ's from Vancouver - that explains the accent. I thought he was an American CZcamsr who was making fun with the stereotype of Canadians saying "ahboot" but, no, he's from the west coast and they do speak like that out there. Over here on the east coast it's "abowt the howse"
CanuckJim I live outside of Vancouver and never heard anyone in my life say “ahboot”, I honestly thought it was a east coast thing.
@@alexstevens6963 Now that's odd because growing up we were always told it's something Alberta & BC do.
He does it on purpose apparently
It’s kind of cringy, nobody says aboot like that especially in Vancouver
@@s.r.2367 I'm beginning to wonder if it's an affectation he's adopted as part of his brand uniqueness. (Not that it matters, of course)
Me who lives in Australia "oh nah man what are our coins again"
A tip I would have given beforehand is that we have a lot of boring obvious place names like ten mile creek so some of the 'exotic guesses' I immediately knew would be incorrect. By the way, Chris, we call it a $10 note, not a $10 bill. I laughed at JJ's pronunciation of emu!
