US Mint First Listing For 2026

2026 is going to be a... ride.

I haven't heard anything about a future collaboration privy, I was wondering about that a while ago. It would seem like if they were going to do them with the frequency of the first two, that there would be rumors floating around first, like the first two. So maybe that was just a flash, or two flashes, in the pan. Fine by me. I'd get whatever they make, but am fine without them. 2026 will be big enough as is. Maybe the Mint told Eighth Era to just chill for 2026, enough on their plate.

They have a 2026 product schedule up, but it's only four entries right now:
Iowa Innovation dollars
2026 dual-date W-mint ASE
Congrats set with P-mint ASE
Native American $1 coins

All released in January.

. . . I like that one!

of course I was just kidding... when I posted that I had just skipped over from the thread about the 3-coin sets of the very last zincolns with the omega privy... that's what was on my mind after reading that thread.

when the mint did the V75 privy back in 2020 I just wanted to barf. that was the final nail in the ASE coffin and the Mint's coffin for me. I don't bother with the Mint anymore and I'm happier because of it. it was this same gimmicky thing that pushed me out of sports card collecting.

they're free to make whatever they want, but I don't have to buy it. but, as someone else posted in that 3-coin set thread, I don't want to be a downer about it. many others think it's great & fun & can afford it. pulling something positive from it: I look at all the money I've saved by not buying them.

but I think if they use Rich Uncle Pennybags they should just use his head with the top hat on it. those coins will not be for poverty-stricken peons like me.

even though I swore-off buying from the mint, I still go look at the release schedule from time to time. I usually just look for the gold coins.
