The New Zealand Mint expands offering in most of its licenced coin franchises, including the debut of Game of Thrones After our catch-up of Mint of Poland releases yesterday, we're doing the same for another popular mint whose output exceeds our ability to keep up with otherwise. Popular culture coins have a huge collector market of [...]
Another quick heads-up on a Chibi coin that may sell quickly, the first in the Star Trek: Next Generation subset has just debuted, and features one of the most beloved and iconic characters in the whole franchise - Captain Jean-Luc Picard. With the character enjoying a mini-renaissance on streaming television at the moment, it's likely it'll be one of [...]
Pickle Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! The brilliant Rick & Morty animated series marks its first coin outing with the mad genius himself Who doesn't love animation? For me, it's South Park, Archer, Family Guy, Samurai Jack, The Tick, and the subject of this debut coin from Glines & Rhodes, Rick & Morty. A surreal experience, Rick & Morty charts [...]

The genre remains a hugely popular one, and it shows no signs of easing off anytime soon. To be fair, [...]
Round 2! Fight! Chun-Li is the second iconic Street Fighter character in LPM's videogame-inspired bullion coin series Last November, we were impressed by the first in LPM's new Street Fighter bullion coin series, Ryu.

Batman is back with another reboot and another actor playing the iconic role. The NZ Mint is prepared for it.
