@Gilly: Which one are you thinking about?
Actually the are two.
I'm not sure how many different ones were made either.
As an
ASE collector, I have 2 in my collection solely because they have ASEs in them.
The 2000 Millennium Coinage and Currency set, here is my item write up on that:
"To celebrate the new Millennium, the US Mint released the United States Millennium Coinage and Currency Set. It contained one bullion 2000 American Silver Eagle, one 2000D
Sacagawea dollar coin, and one Series 1999 $1 bill with a serial number beginning with the number "2000". It was discovered that the Sac dollar had a burnished type finish similar to the Goodacre dollars and became highly sought after for a while. The COA, printed on the outer packaging, did indicate that the bullion coin was minted at West Point, although all 2000 bullion was minted at West Point. But the third-party graders will give the implied mint mark and the notation of "Millenium Set" if submitted in the sealed mint wrapper. Original price $39"
I don't have an image of the inside of that set, as mine is sealed. This set is called "Coinage and Currency" vs "Coin and Currency" and I'm not sure why. Because there are 2 coins, is coinage plural for coin?
The other is the 2012 Making American History Coin and Currency set. Here is the write up I have for that:
"The most notable reason for this set was the 150th Anniversary of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which is why a $5 note was included in this set. In the COA, printed on the back of this set is read, there were several notable
anniversaries for the Mint in 2012. It was also the 220th Anniversary of the US Mint (if you remember above there
was the 1993 "Bicentennial Set" 19 years prior), it was also the 75th Anniversary of the San Fransisco Mints current building, the 75th Anniversary of the opening of the US Depository at Fort Knox, and the 75th Anniversary of the start
of construction on the West Point Mint. The set contained just 2 items. A $5 Federal Reserve Note which had a
serial number beginning in "150", and a Proof American Silver eagle minted in San Fransisco, one of only 2 ways to
obtain the 2012S Proof, the other being the above-mentioned San Fransisco 2 Coin Set. Original issue price $72.95.
I am speculating the mintage to be 56,857, based on total mintage of the S Proof and subtracting the number of reverse proofs as used in the San Fransisco sets."
