Yea, according to the USMint's website, 1.82M 2013-D Sac $1s were struck. Poking around as much as I can on their site, it and the 'P' (also 1.82M) appear to have the lowest production totals of any business strike varieties of USA small $1s (1979 and later). Most of the Sacs from 2012-later appear to be in the 2-3M each range. Mike

A couple of days ago, I received a moderately circulated 2013-D Sac $1 (the one with the 'TREATY WITH THE DELAWARES 1778' design on the back) in payment from a customer at work. $1 coins are fairly common here in NE Wisconsin due to the numerous workplace breakroom vending machines, among other places, that use them. About ten years or so ago I observed that the USMint appeared to be disposing of unsold inventory of collector-issue business strike coins (ie, rolls, 'short' mint bags, etc) by placing the coins into circulation, this due to the large number of ultra-low mintage mid-00s $1s that I had been finding in circulation in the area at that time. Is this a reasonable assumption regarding this recent-dated Sac? BTW, I like the design on this coin. [rantmode] JUST PLEASE PLACE THE DATE/MINTMARK BACK ON A FLAT SIDE! OK? Thanx! [/rantmode] Mike

eBay is your FRIEND! Mike

I've gotten a couple of 2009-Ds in regular circulation, too. *NO* 2009-Ps yet, though. Mike
