<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3699587, member: 66&quot;]Things like this are seldom planned more than a year or two ahead.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t have a century, they probably dreamed up the idea of the centennial coins no more than two years ahead, and probably less.&nbsp; Most commemoratives are not planned more than two years ahead.&nbsp; Look at the Bicentennial coinage we knew the Bicentennial was coming for a long time, but the coins were authorized just 14 months before production was to start.&nbsp; The Peace dollar was conceived of in 1918, but no requested for design submissions were made until the end of November 1921 for a coin to be issued before the end of the year.&nbsp; Why didn&#039;t we get the S mint circulation quality ATB quarters until the third year of the program?&nbsp; Because no one thought or planned for them.&nbsp; No for the most part these things are planned at the last minute.&nbsp; This is also why some of our commemorative&nbsp; are late for the anniversaries they commemorate.&nbsp; The 200th anniversary of the Bill of Rights was marked in the 202nd year.&nbsp; The 250th anniversary of the birth of Jefferson was marked in the 251st year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
