| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing venue for foreign mints since the 1970s, its status as a New Zealand realm territory giving it legal authority to produce currency while virtually none of it ever circulates on the island itself. The population hovers around 1,500 people. Coins bearing Niue's name are, in nearly every case, collector products contracted through overseas minting operations — the face value is nominal, the silver content is the point.
