Here's a second Index to modern-era US commemorative coins that feature stars in their designs. The coins included here were issued from 1992 to 2001, the second decade of the series. The program's second decade was a far more active period for new issues, and thus produced a greater number of "star" coins. All of the linked posts below were made over in the "Post Your..." Gallery area within the "Coins with Stars" thread.
You will find my Index to the modern coins issued from 1982 through 1991, here:

2001 Capitol Visitor Center - Silver DollarAnd that, I believe, covers the second 10 years of the modern series. (Did I miss any?) Some may wish to include the 1996 Smithsonian Institution Gold Half Eagle due to is use of the Smithsonian logo in its design - the logo's main device is a radiating sun. A sun, after all, is a star. For my categorization, however, I have elected to not include coins depicting the sun, believing such coins to be in a different, standalone, category.
As always, if you have a look at any of the above posts, make sure to scroll around a bit in the "Post Yours..." thread as it includes many interesting "coins with stars" from around the world.
