In 2026 the US will have its Quarter Millenium (250 years). Would you like to see an expanded Commemorative Coin Set?

Typical Commemorative sets include a half, a dollar, and a five-dollar gold piece (a half eagle). For this set, it could include all denominations from the half cent (it would be quite small), the cent, the double cent (or two-cent piece) the three-cent piece (or "trime"), the half dime and/or nickel, the dime, the double dime (twenty cent piece), the quarter, the half, and the dollar. It could also include a gold dollar, a two-and one-half dollar gold piece (quarter eagle), the three-dollar gold piece, the half eagle, and the eagle, the double eagle.

This set could include a set of between 11 and a baker's dozen coins. The Three Cent and the Five Cent pieces were minted in both silver and nickel.

Prefer a silver half and a silver dollar, they can do a gold one but I never buy them from the mint. Cost too much for me personally. Maybe do a commemorative quarter like the bicentennial for regular circulation.

The Cent was minted in two sizes. There was a "Large Cent" (about the size of a quarter, give or take). There's also the "Small Cent" which is the size that one cent pieces are made, today. To make the half cent, the same ratios of sizes would be applied to the new sizes. The original half cent was about the size of a nickel. So, the new half cent would be about 16 millimeters (somewhat smaller than a dime).

I'm not sure anyone could afford that set.

No. I am not a coin collector, so that likely plays a very big factor in my opinion . But commemorative coins just seem like a waste of money, to me.

Personally, I don't see the point.
