What current issue of coins do you add to when new issues come out? The only currently issued coin series that I add to each year are the Austrian 25 Euro Silver/Niobium coins that began in 2003. They only issue 65,000 each year with a new design and differently anodized Nb colors. This can be U.S. or World coins. Here is my favorite:
That series I used to collect - was attracted by the first issue also because it depicts the die of a 15c Tyrolean Guldiner coin. Stopped collecting it when they went from two colors to more ... I also collected the commemorative €2 coins, but there just are too many now that each euro country may issue two per year. The German States series, however, I want to complete, and also the Spanish Cultural Heritage series. Whenever the latter comes to an end. Christian
Unless it's an error or better than the current coin I have for the EU series I'm making (just the circulation coinage, no commemoratives), I don't think I actually chase any current issue coins. Interesting topic, though.
Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Platinum Eagles and now Palladium Eagles, also 5 oz America the Beautiful quarters.
From the U.S. Mint directly, proof, silver proof and uncirculated sets; proof and uncirculated ASEs, ATB P-mintmarked "pucks" and S-mintmarked ATB quarters. When it comes to my eBay indulgences, it could everything and anything I like that is reasonably priced.

Off center wheat cents I want one for every year of Wheat cent. Mint doesn't matter. It's a nice long term project. So far I have 1911, 1917 D, 1918 D, 1919 S, 1926 D, 1935, 1941, 1943, 1944, 1945, and 1947 S all off center. I have a long ways to go still.
I think a lot of people missed that first sentence of your post... maybe we just go with whatever you religiosly collect?
Just BU, unless there was something so special about a circ coin that absolutely screamed at me . . . A beautifully toned coin, a nice error, or an undeniably prooflike example.
I pick up a single half dollar every year in order to continue my 1794--present year set. (missing 1796 and 1797)
