Coins are occasionally minted with a date that's different from the calendar year in which they were made. Some examples:
- In 1999, the US Mint started striking 2000-dated $1 coins so that there would be a large supply on hand for release at the start of the next year.
- From 1999 to 2001 some states in the EU minted euro coins dated 2002, again so there would be enough on hand when the euro became the official European currency. (Interestingly, the date process was optional and some states minted coins with the calendar years on them.)
- During the changeover from silver to copper-nickel coins the US continued to mint 1964-dated silver coins well into 1965 while simultaneously making 1965-dated clad coins. To avoid an artificial shortage of 1965 coins, that date was maintained through part of 1966.
- During the Mint's early years coin dies were used until they wore out so it was not unusual for coins with a prior year's date to be minted for the first couple of months each year.
