If my coins dreams would come true, I would have a $20 gold coin. I dreamed of finding it inside a water-fountain

Also, ike's are still being used as change, it's just that people who get them are saving them.

I wonder if this has indeed occurred elsewhere in the world.

One that comes to mind is from France. There was a hundred-year gap (including two world wars with resultant economic collapses), so the denomination was altered to keep up with inflation, but the design remained much the same.

Coin#1: 5 francs, 1871-1878. 25 grams .900 fine silver. Circulated.

Coin#2: 50 francs, 1974-1980. 30 grams .900 fine silver. NCLT but issued at face value.

Thanks for the links, Sap. That is exactly the kind of example I was thinking about. Wow, a hundred-year gap between mintings of basically the same design. Now I wonder if that is a record for this sort of thing. ;-)

We would have another (sort of) example of this if they ever get back to a "normal" Washington quarter after all these state and national park designs.

We will not. Legislation calls for a "Washington Crossing the Delaware" reverse when the ATB program ends.

To the original question, with US coins examples have been given, but there's something about the precise situation envisioned in the OP which does not match those examples. All of the examples were the mint resuming production of a current design, not producing a design that was used and has since been superseded by another (as the Ike dollar has been by the SBA and Native American dollars).

Although, I would be quite pleased (and would buy) in 2021 and 2029 90% silver Ike and SBA 50th anniversary coins should they be produced. A good dream, and I definitely share it.

I think your thread influenced me!

Last night I dreamed I got my 2013 silver proof sets from the mint. I was so excited as I opened them. But then, when I got the initial box open, all of the plastic holders were empty except for one that had a 2013 S Silver Ike in it.

Man was it beautiful!

I wanted to mail the empty containers back for complete sets but was afraid they would keep the Ike and not send me a new one if I did.
