All I can say is, "Is this really necessary?"
The United States Mint (Mint) today announced it will forgo the production and sales of Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars in 2022. This calculated pause is directly related to the global pandemic’s impact upon the availability of silver blanks from the Mint’s suppliers. The suspension will give the Mint time to evaluate the best way to allocate our limited supply of silver to ensure the best customer experience we can.
“We’ll be required to make business decisions like this until the supply chain for silver blanks recovers from the disruptions caused by COVID-19,” said Mint Deputy Director Ventris C. Gibson.
“I want to ensure that our customers know,” she said, “that the modern renditions of the historic Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars will continue next year. Our goal is straightforward: to give our loyal customers the products they want and the service they deserve.”

Thread 3!
I suspect the announcement reflects positive results from their surveys
Yikes!! I apologized for starting thread #2, didn't see #1. I just hope we don't see thread #4.
Too late
Thread 4 exists
All In good fun
The WORD is out....
Not sure what the point of continuing the series really is... Just sales I guess, no other good reason that I can see. Cheers, RickO
Without prompting...my wife offered this...maybe if they didn't make the Negro Leagues (and other issues) that apparently few wanted...they'd have ample silver to make the Morgan and Peace dollars THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANTED!!!
That's why I married her...good common sense!
PS...I saw that there were [rightfully] multiple threads on this significant topic...
Yeah, that would have saved 20,000 rounds...when they need 200,000.
