In the Simpsons episode "Bart vs. Australia," we briefly see a scene (embedded below) in which an Australian father berates his son for accruing a long distance phone charge of 900 dollarydoos. This is not the actual currency of Australia, which is crocodile teeth of different sizes.

But there is now a petition of concerned citizens who wish to rename that nation's currency the dollarydoo in order to stimulate the Australian economy. That's a smart monetary policy. So far, more than 60,000 Australians, which is roughly half the population, has signed the petition. If it reaches the goal of 75,000 signers, then a letter that effect will be sent to the Prime Minister.
