Star Trek Coins From Australia?!

Captain  Kirk Commemorative Coin

By crackey, the Aussies and Polynesians are going Star Trek wild. The Perth Mint is creating a whole set of commemorative coins, one of which has good ol' Captain Kirk on the face and a figure of The Enterprise on the other side."Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu". 

I might have been tempted to buy one, but it's that damned 3rd-season publicity picture, bad rug-day, pudgy-cheeked, pot-bellied Shatner grins and poses....really bad.You can even see that he's not in the mood for a photo. ah, but then maybe in Australia and Tuvalu, this is manly? 



Here's a link to a recent story about it:

I have to say that a lighted box might be really cool.
I dunno.
