<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2540323, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t know whether the Olympics are still popular, but I suppose that such coins are sought after at least in the issuing country. For the London 2012 Olympics, the Royal Mint issued more than 60 coins. Sixty, just in terms of different designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously such pieces are fundraisers, which is also why several countries issue, hmm, participation coins: &quot;Our team for the XYZ Olympics&quot;. I do not care about Olympics coins and do not collect them, with few exceptions: The ones for Munich 1972 (fortunately only six if you don&#039;t take proofs and mint marks into account) and some that I particularly like because of the design and/or theme.</p><p><br /></p><p>My gut feeling says that, if the coins are easily affordable and have the same specifications as the regular coinage, a dozen or so would be OK. (Maybe a three-year program with four designs per year.) But if you add gold and silver issues that carry hefty surcharges ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
