Yes! I think it is a ploy by the NZ's to boost their tourism!

Definitely real though no Smaug ones yet - maybe for the second movie?

Alas, those coins are so very expensive  see http://stamps.nzpost.co.nz/thehobbit

I do indeed!

My friend bought them just as I was meeting Martin Freeman in person in Wellington, so that was very funny!

I will eventually post some pictures, promise!
