Niue's lunar series coins are legal tender in name only — the island's actual currency is the New Zealand dollar, and these pieces were produced entirely for the collector market under licensing arrangements that have made Niue one of the most prolific small-nation mint vehicle issuers in the world. The 2007 Pig completes the first full twelve-year lunar cycle Niue issued in this format.
