I know in modern times that it's unlikely that a coin of a particular denomination or mint won't be produced (or sometimes WILL BE) but you never know. Take 1999 for example. Had the mint waited until 2000 to release those sets, they would've included the SBA dollar that the mint clearly did not expect to be produced that year and was forced to include as a special proof sold separately. 1987 would not have included half dollars. 1938 would have included both the Buffalo and Jefferson nickels. And so forth. It's possible 2010 could see no production of nickels but they'll be in sets regardless. It doesn't seem right to me.
