[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 3698283, member: 69089"]I'm hesitant to respond since we're not going to agree on this and I don't want to precipitate an argument, but since you asked... No, I don't think more than one commemorative necessarily would be appropriate. Just because something [U]can[/U] be commemorated doesn't mean it [U]has[/U] to be commemorated. It's not like any harm is done if something gets ignored. Limits and constraints may be arbitrary, but they're also motivational. They force people to make choices. If more than one subject is worthy of consideration in a given year, then choose the [U]one[/U] that's most worthy, make a beautiful coin to commemorate it, and I'll almost certainly buy it. Having just one makes the issuing of a commemorative coin a truly special event. It's not like I'll lament not having a coin commemorating the second, third or fourth most worthy subject. And I wouldn't buy them all anyway. Less is more. If the mint would produce fewer non-circulating collector coins, it would make the ones they [U]do[/U] produce more meaningful and more desirable.[/QUOTE]
