| Additional information |
Tuvalu's licensing arrangement with Marvel Comics has produced dozens of legal tender issues since the early 2010s, struck by the Perth Mint under agreement with the island nation's government. These coins circulate as genuine currency under Tuvaluan law but are produced entirely for the collector market — no resident of Funafuti has ever spent one on groceries. The .9999 fineness is a deliberate step above the more common .999 standard, a selling point Perth began applying selectively to premium pop-culture issues around this period.
