The tiny Pacific isle of Niue now owns the distinction of having the coolest currency ever — The Niuean government has a plan to come out with legitimately minted Star Wars-emblazoned coins that the residents can actually use! The embossed coins will sport characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda and Princess Leia, in full colour, and printed silver sets costing NZ$2. But if you are a collector, you will be more interested in the themed sets instead. These include a Darth Vadar coin box that sounds like the evil villain, and a Millennium Falcon box set which will remind you of jets taking off every time you open it.
The collection sets will come in a boxed pack of four coins priced at NZ$469 (US$395) while you can pick up can pick up the silver-plated $1 coins at NZ$23.50 (US$20) each. Only 7,500 copies of each coin will be made, with the first sets to be made available in November, it would be just in time for you to gift it to your Star Wars-fanatic loved ones as a Christmas friend.
