They really missed an opportunity here, they could of minted coins that are meant to appear as if they had come from Smaug's Horde. I'd pay for a coin that was cast to look as if it had come from the lonely mountain.

Weta workshop had a number of 'One Ring's for sale that were made to the same specifications as those used in the film. I bought one for my husband a few years back. At the time they were out of gold rings in his size and we bought a silver ring. He recently got it electroplated with gold, it kept the engraving beautifully.

Maybe they should try their hands at rings. They have a volcano or two around there, do they not?

They're late to the party. I saw the One Ring for sale in a souk in Muscat about seven years ago. In fact, that shop had at least two of them...
