thedeadpoint Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 WOW! http://www.coinnews.net/2010/03/02/us-mint...intages-appear/ Apparently the messages are less than half of what they were in February 2009. Check out these interesting numbers: - 2010 nickels minted to date: 0 - quarters minted in February: 0 - Presidential $s in February: 0 - Denver dimes in 2010: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Supposedly all of the coins being reintroduced to the system by things like CoinStar and the counting machines at the banks are making it less necessary to produce tons of new stuff.

Finn235 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Of course they're low. American coins are now "Made in China." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I should add that periods of low coin mintages typically correlate with periods of slow economic growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Look at the mintages of coins during the early years of the great depression and they were either not minted or minted in small numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 http://www.coinnews.net/2010/07/09/us-mint...l-mintage-added I see several interesting things in this June mintage report: 1) dimes are the 2nd most minted coin after the cent for the year 2) more dollars have been produced so far than quarters 3) the 2009 quarter issues look to be comparatively rare. I wish I saw last year's figures. I know they were tiny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Looks like the 2010 figures will be higher than 2009. Maybe thats why I have not seen any 2009 coins except for the cents. http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_...=2009#starthere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 They really ramped up nickel and dime production midway thru the year. Looks like the 2010 quarters will be the low mintage item for the year. Explains why I have not seen even one in circulation. http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&allCoinsYear=2010#starthere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
