Dansco album oddities

Getting an answer to these questions is not going to revolutionize my entire life. Yet I am curious:
I just purchased the two album set of State Quarters with proofs. These sets are the first Dansco albums i've seen that do not have the plastic protector sheets installed in the album. Instead, you get an envelope with the plastic sheets and you must install them yourself. I've seen at least 15 other types of Dansco albums and they are not like this. Is there a clever reason for this or is it just 'because'.
The Dansco album for presidential dollars appears to be extra cool, with extra sheets of paper between the coin pages with details and portraits of each president. This was an unexpected bonus, as I had merely expected a plain old Dansco album with pages for coins. No question here, just an observation.
There is no spot for a 1996W dime in the basic Roosie Dansco album. Darnit. It reinforces the notion that a hole in a Dansco for a particular coin makes that coin worth more!
So...what other mysteries await? Are there any other unusual, different or cool Dansco albums?

I would suspect that Dansco is cranking out these State Quarter & Prez Albums so fast that insering the slides would be too labor intensive.
Just wish Dansco would allow collectors to "Special order" discontinued Albums... I'd be willing to pay extra for this option.
Another oddity: Some foreign Dansco albums have a Red binder !!
<< <i>...insering the slides would be too labor intensive. >>
You are correct there. It was not easy to put those plastic sheets into a fresh album, it took some time.
After doing it, I was surprised they inserted the plastic slides into any of the albums!!! It would be a real time saver in their manufacturing process!
<< <i>I believe you can custom order albums from Dansco, although they cost more. >>
I asked a year ago, never got a reply from the company
I really like the presidential album with proofs. As soon as the Proof and Mint sets are all available at the same time this year I'll be completing another page.
I just purchased a Dansco Roosie Album and there is a slot for the 1996 W B.U. Dime. I am not sure why yours does not have it.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
Might be a stupid question, but is the 1996W next to the two other 1996 issues? Because if it is, mine doesn't have that hole.
Interesting.

Only the Dansco Kennedy Half album (8166) has holes for the 1965-1967 unc AND SMS coins, the others do not.

It's sort of a bummer realizing that I have a few non-proof Dansco albums...and a few coins that only fit into the proof albums. Darn holes.
Does this mean that I need to fill up another Dansco? Hm.
