If Dansco was to sell a new album (or set of albums) with holes for each different "type" of US Coin for the years 1999-2009, just how many coins would we need to complete the collection (based on our current knowledge of planned/proposed issues thru 2009)?
Is it possible that the total number of "new" design types in our "Multitudinous Millenium Collection" would actually be greater than the total of all US Coin Issues By Type from 1793 thru 1998?
For the purpose of this count, each major design change on either obverse or reverse, and each difference in metallic content, shall be considered as a new "type".

I don't think I'd include the First Hags™, as they're either bullion or commems, and of a different sort than the variations on circulating coins.
I count 135 distinct "types" for the eleven years of 1999-2009. Make it 145 if territorial quarters get passed. I haven't counted, but I suspect that is way more types than most people would include in the entire history of the Mint up to 1998.
