CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12820 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 5:01 pm I read an article today about 2 bills that have been introduced for coins commemorating the 400th anniversary of the founding of Plymouth. The most interesting piece of this legislation is that the coin would be issued over a period of two years. Quote: The "Plymouth 400th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act of 2016" calls for the manufacture of up to 100,000 $5 gold coins composed of 90% gold and 10% alloy; up to 500,000 $1 silver coins composed of "not less than" 90% silver, and up to 750,000 clad pieces. Interestingly, these issues would be issued over a two-year period and would be dated, 2020, 2021, or 2020-2021, and aim to commemorate the Pilgrim landing, the signing of the Mayflower Compact, the First Thanksgiving, interaction with the indigenous Wampanoag people, and related events. If it were to pass, the two-year part brings two questions to mind for me: 1. The way it's phrased above, the coins "would be dated 2020, 2021 or 2020-2021". Does that means just one coin, not multiple versions of the coin that change dates? I suspect just one version. 2. Would this coin count as one of the two allowed commemorative issues for both years or just one? Report this Post to the Staff

Could be one design with two dates, or one combined date, or two or three designs for each year. Things should clear up later on. Report this Post to the Staff
Parklane64 Rest in Peace United States 2668 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 11:31 pm a 400th anniversary should be celebrated over 40 months with 4 coins. How hard is it to think like the mint? Or did I miss a better one? Report this Post to the Staff
