New Zealand is to release a series of 'The Hobbit' coins that will be considered legal tender.
To commemorate the upcoming release of Peter Jackson's new film trilogy, the coins will come in a variety of face values and depict characters from the movies such as Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the wizard. Many of the coins are expected to be worth a lot more than their face value with the gold NZ$10 coin worth over NZ$3,695 to collectors.New Zealand are hoping to see a big increase in tourism thanks to both the success of the original Lord of the Rings films and the new upcoming prequel trilogy.
