Not that I wouldn't be on board for such a commemorative, but 1) It seems like just yesterday we were doing the 50th anniversary sets, and 2) what is special about 2020 with regard to JFK? He'd have been 100 this year, not in 2020.

Maybe for sixty years after being elected President?

I agree, this year would have been preferred.
Rest in Peace

After reading the Bill

Quote:
Each silver dollar sold would include a $10 surcharge to support the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum (www.jfklibrary.org).


Is it a money thing?

With only a few exceptions, every modern US commemorative program has been a "money thing." The laws authorizing each program include language regarding the surcharges to be collected on behalf of the sponsor(s) of the coin.

More insight on this from another article that offers up the opinion that Congress was simply slow on the draw on this one.
