OBI Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and a host of Star Wars characters will join the likes of the Queen of England and George Washington as the faces of official coins. The coins will be legal currency on the Pacific Island of Niue and made by the New Zealand mint (铸币厂), which has produced two sets catering for (迎合) fans of both Jedi and Dark Side – the Millennium Falcon collection and the Darth Vader collection. Although each coin is only worth NZ$2 (around 11 yuan), a box of four costs NZ$469. “No one is going to buy an ice cream with them,” admitted New Zealand mint spokesman Chris Kirkness. “Traditionally, who would buy these would be coin collectors, but this product opens up the market as a gift product and for enthusiasts of Star Wars.”
