Niue has issued silver Christmas coins almost annually since the 1990s under licensing arrangements that generate revenue for the island territory — a Pacific nation of roughly 1,600 people whose primary income streams include postage stamps, coin programs, and domain name licensing for the .nu top-level domain. The coins are legal tender under Niuean law but are struck entirely for the collector market and see no circulation whatsoever.
