The mint of Rome (Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato) published in 1969 a BU set with the following coins: N#2615 , 1 lira; N#2424 , 2 lire; N#730 , 5 lire ; N#728 , 10 lire ; N#1113 , 20 lire; N#724 , 50 lire; N#304 , 100 lire; N#2716 , 500 lire. On the coin page of the 1, 2 and 500 lire there are the 1969 BU set options, but for the others there is not.

Thank you. This has been completed.

The reason was for that year as well as all years from 1968 to 2001 the 1, 2 and 500 were only issued in  BU sets (some proofs, too). If you add a BU line for 1969 you have to do the same for 1968 and 1970 to 2001. 

As said above, there are BU set of these coins, and a few others like the 200 lire, ranging from 1968 to 2001, so there should be the option for those. (aniway thanks for uploading the ones from 1969)

I don't understand all the lines in the catalog like this, particularly Australia.  The coin is the same whether it comes in the piece of plastic or not.  BU is merely a box that should be checked for the grade.  Millions of lines would be needed throughout this site to distinguish every BU coin in the world if we're going to pretend they're anything different. when they are exactly the same coin, merely presented in a cardboard box or a piece of plastic rather than just put out in circulation.  It's not a type, not a variety and not anything that needs to be distinguished from every other one from that year.

 Hooray. The voice of reason. Yes to all.
