    Watership Down "Big Scary Rabbit" First In Series

    There are Peter Rabbit coins, why no Watership Down coins??

    Seriously, is there any way to get one made by the Royal Mint, Pobjoy etc?
    Would one have to pay ridiculous royalty fees?

    If the movie was rated PG you can make a decent coin out of it.

    There are private mints that you can contract with to produce a round or bar of your own design.

    I want it to be a real coin of a major country, with a great design (not mine)
    Because I can't afford more, limited mintage of 100 (10 carded) :lol:

    @ Ohno

    Well, we can all dream of a major mint producing what we envision as a most awesome coin....it's a whole other ball of wax that such a dream becomes a reality. Not that it hasn't happened but it takes a hell of a lot of effort and money. I know that in the US, people can work with Congressmen to introduce legislation to introduce new coins.

    Oh well, thank you all for the comments.
    In the mean time I guess I will have to settle for a 2011 Perth Mint Lunar Rabbit and the hobo nickel guy.
