Does the mint only issue 2 commer coins a year, are the franklins the only ones being issued this year or are their others in the pipeline?

I did...
The only ones shown are the franklins. Are they the only ones scheduled for this year?
<< <i>By law they can only do two PROGRAMS a year. Currently they have one passed for this year, the Franklin Tricentennial, and the Teddy Roosevelt seems to be on the fast track, plus they have a third one, I forget what it is, working its way through as well. I know three is more than two but they have ignored the law before. All they have to do is include an exception to the law in the language of the bill. >>
The "old san francisco mint" commem bill passed the house and has languished in the senate.

Thanks!!
I wondered how it was done and was very confused when I read somewhere a quick bit about someone waiting for the Teddy Rossevelt Commers.
Is there any idea yet on when those would be rolled out? I assume probably at the end of the year?
