Ideas on how to give coins as a present?

My son and daughter in law are planning to go to Australia next year.

Instead of a regular Christmas gift they have asked if we could give them £2 coins so that they can put it straight in their Australia fund piggy bank. They did something similar when saving for their wedding and it was amazing how quickly all the £2 coins added up!

I usually spend around £50 between them, so can give the same in coins.

Any of you lovely people have creative ideas of how I can give 25 x £2 coins in a way that ties with the Australia theme please?

Get an Australian themed advent calendar, remove and eat all the chocolates, and put 2 x £2 coins in each day's compartment.

Arrange the coins in the shape of Australia and stick them to a card.

Buy a stuffed kangaroo and put the coins in its pouch, or a kangaroo / wallaby etc pyjama case and put the coins inside.
