IGO suspends annual dividends from Tianqi JV amid market downturn
The JV experienced a build in lithium hydroxide inventory at Kwinana over recent months.
Animation Insider reports SpongeBob SquarePants contributes a hefty amount to Nickelodeon Consumer Product’s estimated $5.5 billion in annual, worldwide retail sales.
For international coin collectors – or for that one die-hard SpongeBob fan who must have absolutely everything – two companies are partnering with Nickelodeon to manufacture a limited run of four, one-ounce, silver legal tender, based on the cartoon. PFG Precious Metals from Chicago, a wholesale precious metals company, and the New Zealand Mint, a respected minter legal tender for four and a half decades, are now accepting orders for SpongeBob silver.
Animation Insider reports the coins are legal tender of Niue Island (denomination of $2), which is located in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Tonga and south of American Samoa with a population of some 1,300.
TVNZ reports SpongeBob SquarePants will be immortalized on a square, legal tender silver bullion coin, along with friends, Patrick, Gary, and Sandy.
MINING.com reported last week Australia’s Perth Mint announced that it minted a one-tonne gold bullion coin that is worth over $55 million. It is the world’s largest gold bullion coin. The previous record holder was the Royal Canadian Mint.

The Spongebob coins will sell out in less then a week and will be valuable after that.

If I only had until the first week of February… but I think john below is correct. Sold out and be ridiculously over-priced, to the glee of the one who bought it.
