I will not be buying one.

A couple select quotes from the Mint's Coin and Currency Set description:


Quote:
To celebrate the United States Mint's 220th year and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's 150th year of service to our country, this Making American History Coin and Currency Set features a coin and a note made in America.

As opposed to the US coins and notes made outside of America?

Quote:
This 2012 American Eagle Silver Proof Coin not only honors the artistry and design of our Nation's coins, but also honors the heritage of coin production at the United States Mint at San Francisco.

If they wanted to celebrate 220 years of the Mint, why not use a Philly coin to represent a city that had a Mint 220 years ago? Instead this removes exactly 1/2 the exclusivity of the 2012 2-coin eagle set.

Quote:
The Series 2009 $5 note commemorates the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's 150 years of service with a serial number beginning with "150"...

OK, I get the 150, but why not use a Series 2012 note? If there are none, why not make a special run just for the set, then they'd sell!
