<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1062720, member: 66&quot;]The law says all coins have to bear the the year of mintage OR issue.&nbsp; The intention was that coin not have a date on them other than that in which they are struck, but the Mint holds the opinion that since the law says &quot;or issue&quot; they can legally strike them ahead of time as long as they are not released until the date matches the current year.&nbsp; The Mint has been making predated coins in order to have a stockpile available as soon a the date changes for many years now.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True but there was specific legislation passed to permit that.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for when they have to stop selling a product, that varies.&nbsp; For some items they can sell them as long as they choose as long as they have product on hand.&nbsp; Some times they stop before the end of the year, sometimes when the replacement set goes on sale, and sometimes they just continue until they are sold out.&nbsp; Some other products have definite ending dates written into their authorization.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
