Star Wars as Legal Currency on Planet Earth!
The Pacific island nation of Niue (hmm, rhymes with Naboo) have commissioned the NZ Mint to produce the LEGAL TENDER $2 coins that feature colour pictures of Star Wars!
You can only use them as legal tender in Niue, but who would - they’re going to cost anywhere from AU$18.85 to AU$94 each (the higher priced items are for the 8 included in the box sets)!
The two collector’s boxes are worth dying for: chose from Darth Vader or the Millenium Falcon … but of course you’ll buy both, won’t you?
There will only be 50,000 printed of each coin, so these will be snapped up very quickly.
All up, it’s only gonna cost you AU$940.96 … and that’s just for this FIRST ROUND of 10 individual coins and 2 box sets (8 further coins).
The mint state there will be 40 individual coins in all, so if you do manage to complete the entire collection, you’ll be AU$1,506.46 poorer (but richer in a way that you cannot possibly imagine).
