The new Lunar Year of the Dragon 2024 range is out. This time The Royal Mint has only released seven different formats...

Am I the only one who is greatly annoyed by the issuance of future-dated coins?

I am less annoyed by the issue of future dated coins than I am by the sheer volume of different themed material they keep releasing. What has the Year of the Dragon to do with British cultural history?
The Royal Mint's purpose has ceased to be the provision of circulation coinage to the British people and has become a purveyor of high price tat and bullion to the investor.

To be fair, Australia is much (much) worse. With both the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint. The RAM is overdoing even the circulating coins - two "coin hunts" so far with alphabetic coins (two lots of 26 - different designs each year!), then (Australian) football clubs, and now a new one coming apparently.

Not to mention the coloured $2 craze.

Also, why... why does The Royal Mint sell MOST of their coins on their own web site, but not all - you visit LPM and they have formats (like 1kg of gold) that are not even mentioned on the mint's site?
