Characters of a 2006 film named ‘Cars’ are featured on two colourful new Proof 2017 .999 fine silver $2 coins issued for the nation of Niue by New Zealand Mint. The coins depict the main characters Lightning McQueen and Sally.

Lightning McQueen is a fast rookie race car who wants to always succeed. Through his journey, he meets other characters and understands that there is something more important than trophies, fame, and sponsorship. The character Sally is tired of the fast lane and is looking for a new start in Radiator Springs. The coins come with special packaging and a numbered certificate of authenticity. The mintage limit of the 1-ounce coins is 10,000 pieces and each one costs $80 U.S.
