This cool Star Trek Tricorder Coin Collection celebrates Star Trek’s 50th anniversary with a 5 piece set of colorized JFK Half Dollars featuring Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Lt. Uhura and Sulu on genuine JFK Half Dollars. And it all comes in an awesome box that looks like a tricorder. They aren’t Federation credits, but they are the next best thing.
Check out these Star Trek Coin & Currency Sets. They put Kirk and company on real paper money. Money that actually looks awesome. This 50th Anniversary set features Captain James T. Kirk on a genuine $2 Bill and a JFK Half Dollar. The $2 bill is a genuine legal tender U.S. bank note and the half dollar is a 2016 John F. Kennedy issue.
You can also get a set that focuses on the entire crew. These sets are pretty cool. I could see myself displaying these in my office.
The Royal Canadian Mint has announced a new range of Star Trek coins and they are being released over the next several months. It is yet another celebration of the 50th anniversary. They certainly offer a lot of cool designs. Some of them are very drool-worthy.
The coolest is probably the Starfleet-delta shaped coin with the face value of $200, but since it is minted in solid gold, it will cost you a lot more. You can check out our friends over at The Trek Collective for more info on all of these.
The Perth Mint has some new additions to their Star Trek coin collection with the release of their third captain and ship set, this time featuring Benjamin Sisko and DS9, with an extra coin featuring Spock. The Spock does not have a companion ship coin. It keeps the same overall style, but where the other captain coins have a representation of their ship, Spock is pictured with the Vulcan IDIC symbol.
The regular captain and ship series continues with Captain Sisko and Deep Space 9. These coins are always beautiful. It’s too bad that the US doesn’t have currency like this. I find them quite logical.
These beautiful coins are from the Perth Mint in Australia. It is their second set of Star Trek coins, this time focused on TNG, with Captain Picard and the USS Enterprise-D.
Each coin is available separately in an illuminated display case, or together in a neat transporter room case. They are really lovely and I especially love that transporter room case, Nice!
Okay, so these awesome coins are not the Galactic credits from Star Trek’s future, but if you find yourself in the Pacific island country of Tuvalu, you can actually use them as legal tender. These are dollar coins and on one side it shows Elizabeth II, the Queen of Tuvalu. On the other side you will find either Captain Kirk or the USS Enterprise. Why do they never offer coins like this in America? They are lovely! Lucky Tuvalus!
They are from the Perth Mint of Australia and they are nearly pure silver. Beam me to Tuvalu Scotty!
British artist Shaun Hughes has some mad engraving skills. He creates quite a variety of incredible hobo nickels. What you see here is just a small sampling of his work. He has all kinds of creations on his DeviantART gallery.
Even if we could, there’s no way we could spend any of these. They are so beautiful you would just want to keep them. These altered coins look amazing.
