The U.S. Mint has published online its 2020 numismatic product schedule, including specific release dates for products through March 30.

The revealed schedule does not include any initiatives the U.S. Mint is contemplating for striking special issues for release into circulation, similar to the West Point Mint-struck quarter dollars in 2019.

Neither is any specific release date announced for the Basketball Hall of Fame commemorative coin program. Currently, it is the only commemorative coin program approved by Congress for 2020.

Comprising Proof and Uncirculated versions of a $5 gold half eagle, silver dollar and copper-nickel clad coin, each with concave obverse  and convex reverse, the Basketball Hall of Fame program will introduce the first colorized U.S. coins: the program’s silver dollar and copper-nickel clad half dollar. 

U.S. Mint officials have not disclosed what color or colors will be used nor what technology will be employed to execute the colorization.
