The Simpsons has touched our lives in many ways in its 27 seasons, but so far none have included altering national monetary policy— until now.

A change.org petition calls for the Australian government to rename the nation's currency from the Australian dollar to the Australian "dollarydoo."

It has over 14,000 supporters at the time of writing.

It's a reference to a 1995 episode of The Simpsons called "Bart vs. Australia," in which a distressed Australian father opens a phone bill for "900 dollarydoos," after his young son falls victim to a prank call made by Bart Simpson.

The petition says renaming their currency will help bolster the struggling Australian economy against falling commodity prices.

"This will make millions of people around the world want to get their hands on some Australian currency due to the real-life Simpsons reference, driving up the value of the Australian currency," the post reads.

"If the leaders of this great nation have any common sense at all, they will introduce legislation to parliament to change the name of our currency as soon as possible."

So far no one has suggested "knifey-spoony" as Australia's new national sport.
