Exotic Island To Issue Star Wars Coins

[lazypadawan]

Whenever some obscure nation (or even some not-so-obscure places) wants to make a few extra bucks, it will produce licensed stamps and currency.

The latest one is the Pacific island of Niue, a possession of New Zealand, which is issuing silver and silver-plated Star Wars coins this November. With silver going up along with other precious metals these days, maybe I'll just put my whole 401K into buying a few sets of the silver ones:

I used to work with a guy from Niue (pronounced new-ay). Apparently you can walk around the whole island in a day. Sounds small, but Pitcairn Island, of Mutiny on the Bounty fame, is a fraction of its size.
They'd be more Niueans living in Auckland than Niue. They probably need the money to pay their internet bill, because they have free wifi for every resident.

Don't spread that around or else every lazy hipster taking up space at Starbucks for the free wifi will head on over to Niue.
