| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender collector coinage is produced under licensing arrangements that have made the island nation one of the more prolific issuers of pop-culture bullion pieces in the Pacific region — a revenue stream that significantly outpaces anything the domestic economy generates from circulation coinage. The Patrick Star issue belongs to a Nickelodeon-licensed series.
No monetary policy drives this coin's existence. It's a licensing deal, struck in four-nines silver to attract bullion collectors who also happen to be fans.
