1928: Plan
built 627 days ago
On August 30, 1928 the Federal Radio Commission issued General Order 40, a plan outlining a quota system for the reallocation of broadcasting stations. The Commission stated it would give stations an opportunity to examine the new assignments and challenge the potential changes... all station licenses were extended until November 11, 1928.

The building at 50 E. Roosevelt will be christened on Monday, November 19th at 11am with a magnum of champagne, marking the rebirth of a local landmark that opened in 1928 as the country's first $1 million bus terminal. The two-story structure was designed by a protege of renowned architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham and is instantly recognizable by its classically decorated terra cotta façade. The site fell into disuse decades ago and recently had the electricity restored for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Between 1928 and 1933, Stalin inaugurated the First and Second Five-Year Plans to achieve his goal of rapid industrialization. In many respects he was successful - by 1939 the USSR was behind only the United States and Germany in industrial output. The human costs... were enormous.

This set of coins is a restrike of the 1928 proof set. The set was struck in 1961 in the Royal Mint as part of a plan to mint a further batch of 1928 sets. The Irish Governement had been using the stock of 1928 sets as presentation pieces for over 30 years and the original 6,001 sets minted had run out by about 1960. The Royal Mint ran off a short run of 50 of these restrike sets. The Irish Governement did not proceed with the plan so these 50 sets remain an anomaly in the series.
