<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1392633, member: 26302&quot;]Well I was just commenting on lower and lower overall mintages it appears to me as the modern commemorative program has been in existence. It seems nearly every year there is another military or paramilitary commemorative theme. I also collect Thai coins as a side collection, and they have circulating commemoratives issued every year. Almost none of them involve the military or the police, they celebrate a famous museum, or a hospital, or a UN initiative, etc. Seems to be quite a contrast between their peaceful themed commemoratives and our jingoistic offerings.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was just postulating how much this military theme was hurting sales. We have so many great things to commemorate, my alma mater Iowa State created the worlds first digital computer, we cured polio, medical advances, Mayo clinic, inventing the internet, man on the moon, the lightbulb, motion pictures, etc etc. These are what is great about this nation, not our ability to defeat other nations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
