At a news release at SIP International Science Park on July 10, Ori Animation Company announced the completion of "The Coins", which is the first 3D animation film in China through independent original creation.

Chinese elements are a striking feature of the film "The Coins" both in the creation of characters and ideas. In the story, a group of impersonated ancient Chinese coins gather in a study room of the same age and, through conflicts to unity, they fight together to rescue lives of others, bringing out the theme of "value based on existence" and the traditional Chinese virtues of solidarity,, righteousness, and dedication.
