"A set of coins featuring designs from The Lord Of The Rings
films will
become legal tender this year. The currency has been commissioned by
New
Zealand Post to coincide with the release of the final part of the
triology,
The Return Of The King, in December.

Officials are deciding which famous characters from the big screen
version
of JRR Tolkien's novels will appear on the coins, but hope to
finalise plans
in July. The coins will come in denominations from 50c up to $10 and
are
being made from gold, silver and cupro-nickel by the British Royal
Mint.

A release date for the coins, which will be available individually
and in
presentation packs, has not been set. NZ Post officials said the
launch was
likely to closely follow the issue of a third set of the LOTRs
stamps."

And then there's this. I will be haunting Hallmark this fall.
