I wonder what is the total number of coins it takes to acquire a truly complete set, up to present day. I also wonder how many there are by decade. My guess is that the last decade or two probably have more than the previous 5 decades combined.

Therefore, for example, I wouldn't consider the 1955 DDO cent a necessary piece to a complete collection.
