Message:: [QUOTE="mlov43, post: 6554087, member: 16729"]Okay...  Here is some news from Korea about the 2021 Mint Set: Here is the list of medals and coin sets that the KOMSCO Shopping Mall has planned for 2021 (attached at bottom, below). Nowhere to be seen on this list is the 2021 mint set!   This is "concerning," since last year at this time, this same list for 2020 displayed both the 2020 Proof coin set (officially called the "70th Anniversary of the Bank of Korea Coin Set"), and the regular BOK Mint Set.  One Korean collector I know has a 3-part theory on why the Bank of Korea may not be issuing a mint set this year: 1) The 100-Won coin is to be re-designed (due to the current design's artist being posthumously blacklisted... long story... search here at CT for "Jang Woo-seong" for a rather long thread as to what is going on with that). 2) The "Coinless Society Plan" (similar to Sweden) is supposed to have been implemented by 2020 in Korea.  Well, it's 2021, so it's time to get with the program, since it's STILL government policy. 3) ...and the coinless society push, along with increasing electronic payments, are resulting in overall lower mintages for circulation coins.  So why make a coin set? At the bottom of the list it says: ※ The above schedule is subject to change depending on conditions at the Mint. So, is this a "for sure" thing?  Probably.  But not 100% sure yet.... Only time will tell.
