Coins from the U.S. Mint’s two commemorative coin programs from 2016 can’t be issued after Dec. 31, according to the enabling legislation for both programs.

The U.S. Mint’s Timeless Traditions Holiday 2016 Catalog offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a wide selection of numismatic products, including some that will no longer be available after 2016.

Customers have until noon ET Dec. 29 to place orders for the Proof and Uncirculated 2016 National Park Service 100th Anniversary gold $5 half eagle, silver dollar and copper-nickel clad half dollar, and Proof and Uncirculated 2016 Mark Twain $5 gold half eagle and silver dollar. The coins for both programs are prohibited from being issued after Dec. 31.

Some other products the Mint offers include issues from 2014 and 2015 as well as 2016.
