150th Birth Anniversary of Motilal Nehru
The Mumbai Mint opened bookings for this coin in December last year. Order was sent on 1.1.2014 and coin set received today on 9.05.2014. This is a new record for fast delivery, "just" 4 months and 9 days.
60 Years Of India Govt. Mint, Kolkata (1952-2012)
The Kolkota Mint opened bookings for this coin in May last year. Order was sent on 8.5.2013 and coin set received today on 5.05.2014. Compared to last years another item received in a "record" 5 months this one is abysmal. At least for the India Govt Mint commemorative coin I would have thought it would have reached earlier.

Sachin Tendulkar gold coin
Perhaps today is the right day to post this Sachin Tendulkar gold coin that I purchased way back in 2000. It is a non denominated coin which is not legal tender anywhere. Made by Corporation Bank and minted at the Perth Mint for the 1999 World Cup. 24 carat, 99.99% gold, ¼oz, 7.777 gm, and 20mm dia. Today is the day he played his last test match. Cost at the time was ₹3,400/- approximately.
Swami Vivekananda-150 Birth Anniversary (1863-1902)
The Kolkota Mint opened bookings for this coin in May this year. Yes you are reading this correct, ordered this May and received today. Order was sent on 8.5.2013 and coin set received on 19.09.2013. Item received in a record 5 months. What is amazing is that unlike before where a 2012 coin would be opened for booking in 2013, this is a 2013 coin to coincide with Swami Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary.

Tax – 150 Years Of Building India (1860-2010)
The Mumbai Mint opened bookings for this coin in June last year. Order was sent on 8.6.2012 and coin set received on 24.01.2013. Item received in 8 months. The weird thing about the way our mint works is that the coin says it was issued in 2010, but the proof set was issued only last year. This is the case for practically all the coins.
