I don't care for them either because now, if you are a collector of any one coin minted each year, and you are like me, you need to find more coins. It is challenging to some maybe but for the mint I think it is just a money maker for them. I don't think many collectors asked the mint to do this.
For example, if you wanted one of each 2009
Lincoln Cent.
It adds up to
20 coins ( at least and so far )

Lincolns are so far somewhat easy to get, although how difficult mint sets will be is another matter.
What condition will you get?
The Jefferson's, I only need 5 of.
Have not seen a single graded circulation business strike yet.
Most of the Jefferson's stock photos I have seen on
ebay look like they have been in a knife fight.
Not a "D" mint nickel out there yet!
I have to get in at least this grade
