I'm much too impatient to wait to find something in change.

I think when the Sackie bucks came out I got one in the second week of January, but usually I don't see the new years coins until Feb or March.

The next presidential $1 coin comes out February 14th .

around here ... typically not until march.

Yes, I'm waiting, the next pres dollar comes out on the 14th of february.

It took almost the entire year for all 2007 coins to start showing up in change by me.

I found this to be true as well, besides of course the Presidential $1 coins I picked up from the bank.

February 14, 2008 James Monroe released.
May 15, 2008 John Quincy Adams released.
Augutst 14, 2008 Andrew Jackson released.
November 13, 2008 Martin Van Buren released.

Pays to read numismatic publications.

I visit the US Mint's website for free actually: http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$...action=schedule

Other news the Oklahoma state quarters will enter circulation on Jan. 28, 2008. (Ironically I did not find this news on the US Mint's website )

So does this mean that it does pay to read numismatic literature? lol

Not necessarily, because I still got this information for free, just from somewhere else!

Yeah, I asked at the bank today, but they had nothing.
