Does anyone know who decides what's important enough to warrant a commemorative?
Do you think there's a lot of money and politics involved?

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
There is alot of money involved. Some organization sponsors the commems and gets money from the proceeds of the sale. Of course, there are many rules and regulations to consider and the lead time is a couple of years.
