Our friends at Star Wars New Zealand have a fascinating story of real Galactic Credits, but in the real world! New Zealand's precious metal specialist, New Zealand Mint, has been commissioned to manufacture legal tender coins for the Star Wars franchise. The first Star Wars coins to be released are scheduled for launch in August at the American Numismatics Association Show in Chicago, and will include eight 1oz silver coins and 10 Silver Plated base metal coins depicting the characters of the Star Wars movies. The effigy used for these coins will be the Government of Niue. Click the banner below for more information!
