Today I received the funkiest of coins.

They are NOT your typical #ssg fare, but they do have their own collectibility and charm. ☺️

^{A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...}

Princess Leia on a coin!!! Star Wars is the first movie I ever saw in a theater! I was THREE!!! It was a drive-in and this began a life long obsession. I had the action figures, the 12 inch dolls, books, records, dressed as Leia for Halloween and fully wanted to grow up to be Princess Leia. She was brunette (like me), sassy, sharp, in charge, intelligent, passionate and beautiful. All things I wanted to become when I grew up. So getting this coin as a belated Christmas gift front my husband was an excellent surprise. She is silver plated brass with a colorized image. The coin is real currency, one Niue dollar. It was issued in 2011 with a low mintage of only 50,000. This is number 3503, still in its original packaging. 😍

What’s next?!!!

Holy sh%t!!! guacamole! It’s Captain America!

^USA!!!

This gift is from my in-laws. They know I collect coins (but maybe don’t get the type of coins... 😂🤣). As they are Australian, I am forever their American daughter in-law. As such, Captain America was at the top of their list for me. ☺️ 🇺🇸

Again, this is a coin. It’s a Fijian half dollar with a mintage of 50,000. The coin is silver clad and I have no idea what is on the inside. Here have a peek at the back.

But what makes this coin extra special?

IT LIGHTS UP!!!

^{ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!}
