These special coins feature the Millennium Falcon and Rebel Alliance symbols that magically appear when you tilt them in the light. The Royal Mint have also made coins with other ships like the TIE Fighter and the X-Wing.
The Royal Mint said: “We are excited to enthuse new and existing coin collectors across the world and capture the imaginations of Star Wars’ thriving fan base.”

Soon Star Wars collectors will also be able to buy special Star Wars gold and silver bars, with the first one featuring Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo, reports the Mirror.
The Royal Mint’s Andrew Dickey said: “The Royal Mint’s launch of the Star Wars bullion bars is particularly exciting as iconic characters of the Skywalker Saga have inspired designs that feature on bullion bars for the very first time.”
The Millennium Falcon coin, which comes in a 50p and ounce range, is now available to buy from the Royal Mint’s website as of today (March 18). You can also buy all four vehicle coins in a collection.
Prices start from £12 for a shiny, uncirculated Millennium Falcon 50p and £21 for a colour version, going up to £2,770 for a gold proof coin. The Mint said that the bullion bars will be ready for Star Wars Day on May 4 and prices will depend on live, precious metal prices.
