<p>[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1350901, member: 28451"]Please permit me a chance to rant. It's frustrating at times how provincially-minded this site can be. The OP began by listing three interesting (to me anyway) foreign coins. It was the beginning of what had the possibility of being an interesting thread. YoYo then showed us the Kangaroo at Sunset, which was only responded to by me. However, the great majority of the posts in this thread deal with the fugly, uninteresting (to me anyway) First Spouse coins. There are many more interesting coins in the world than the sometimes interesting, but mostly not, stuff the U. S. Mint releases. I hope we get lucky and next year the Mint will release a new series called First Child coins. Man, won't that be exciting. Then we can have dead politicians, the wives of dead politicians and the offspring of dead politicians. I just can't wait. Rant complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from the rant, I think it's safe to assume that by "limited edition" the OP intended coins that have a limited mintage and will most likely sell out. Although the First Spouse coins do have a limited mintage, I don't think we have to worry about the annual sales even coming close to the 40,000 allowed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
