Our interstellar currency blemished by the face of rebellious traitors??? Why does our beloved Emperor's face not grace these beautiful coins in glorious color?

Well, to be fair, Palpatine's face doesn't have an awful amount of colour to it...TOSDOC wrote:Our interstellar currency blemished by the face of rebellious traitors??? Why does our beloved Emperor's face not grace these beautiful coins in glorious color?

Well yes, but it's a rather dull one.
Of course, they're doing a Vader coin, and Vader's getup is essentially all black, so there's not much variety there either.

Yeah, but Vader looks more intimidating. Palpatine is just creepy. You, of all people, should know awesome intimidating looks, Mr. Pointy-Ears.

Re: NZ mint to produce SW coins as legal tender.
I doubt I'd be all that intimidating on the face of a coin even in one of the appropriate outfits, and anyway, the outfit isn't all that's to intimidation. Can the coin do the scary voice (for me or Anakin Sr?)

If you ditch half your denominations and change the currency to sensible metals, I guess anyone can do this.

Re: NZ mint to produce SW coins as legal tender.
I'm from New Zealand, dude. 
But NZ's new currency looks basically exactly the same as the old stuff, it's just made of different metal to be more economical and they have less denominations total.

It might reduce the number of NZ coins in Australian circulation...

My theory is when you've got all that workshop space free at the mint, you can do silly stuff like this.
