The New Zealand Mint’s Wild Array of Pop Culture-Inspired Coins

“Gimme five Corellian light freighters for a Star Destroyer” is one thing I assume that New Zealand residents typically say to a financial institution teller once they’re in want of pocket change.

The detailing on the entrance is implausible, however the profile picture of the Queen of England on the again is admittedly sort of disappointing. Couldn’t they’ve etched her picture into the Falcon’s cockpit?
