New Zealand Mint has joined forces with PFG Precious Metals to manufacture, produce and distribute a limited edition set of SpongeBob SquarePants coins.

The coins, which will be legal tender in Niue, can be pre-ordered through New Zealand Mint and PFG Precious Metals for around $350. 

SpongeBob and his friends Patrick, Gary and Sandy will feature on the square coins, which come packaged in a treasure chest.

Vice president for USA Operations at New Zealand Mint Chris Kirkness says the collection is “extremely exciting” and has the potential to become a global bestseller.

“To marry a premium bullion coin with a fun and exciting brand such as Nickelodeon is a one–of-a-kind opportunity for New Zealand Mint,” he says.
