Thank you for supporting New Zealand Mint this year.
We hope you have been thrilled by the variety of collectibles we have brought you in 2022. I am really pleased to say that 2023 is shaping up to be a great year.
Our big news is that we will add Marvel to our growing list of top-notch collectibles! We have a big program of Marvel coins already lined up, including Chibi® Coins, so get ready!
And on that note, I thought I would take this opportunity to update you on our Chibi® Coin program for 2023. As we have completed the main characters for most of the brands, you will no longer see numbering on the boxes, and we will be discontinuing the pre-purchase sets. However, we will continue to release these popular coins every month; one each for Marvel, Star Wars™ and DC. And in an exciting extension to the program, there will be a 1 in 10 chance that you will receive a special gilded version of your chosen Chibi® Coin! With only 200 per mintage, you should feel pretty pumped if you get one!
We are also excited to reveal that we will make our first foray into sports collectibles in 2023. We have started designing a range of coins to celebrate the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). We think they will be worth fighting for and hope you agree!
Naturally we will continue to seek out new licenses for 2023 and beyond. We do appreciate your feedback on which brands we should be going after. Afterall, we want to bring you, the fans, the coins you want to collect.
I will sign off by wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our team will be taking a well-earned break from 23 Dec through to 4 Jan, but you can still order from us, and we will ship to you for free as soon as we return. We look forward to sharing more of our unique collectibles with you in 2023.
Happy shopping and enjoy your holidays!
