Discussion: New Govt: Impact on commemorative release

[chatsu01]

Hi Experts, With the formation of the BJP govt in the centre, what kind of new releases do you guys anticipate in the next 5 yrs? I think the next 5 yrs will be interesting for the collectors. Your expert views please.

More of the same. It's not a priority to anyone except collectors and local politicians, so the same bureaucrats will remain the deciding factor.

Hi...

These seat-warmers  more interested in calculating their pension and allowances rather than using their brains to find out the why commemorative coins are issued ....... change of Government seldom affect these people.....an earthquake may

1998 - 2004 was the period when BJP was last in power. One set during that period was the Dr S P Mookherjee set that I can recall. Can someone pls tell me the list of other issues during that period from both Kolkata & Mumbai mints?    . Indeed Dr Keshab will be an interesting set if at all the govt decides to release this set.

Well there were quite a few without any occassion, i.e. 100 yrs, or 125 yrs etc ...
