Finn235 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 When I got my cash till from work today, I did a quick comb through the change as part of my daily ritual. One dime caught my eye as being abnormally shiny, almost like it had never been touched before. I flipped it over, and here's what I found: I'm almost always the first to notice a coin come through at work, but I have several friends who act as extra pairs of eyes for me. I told them to be on the lookout for any of the new 2010 dimes, and during a dead spot one of the cashiers called me over and asked if I wanted all of them. I asked her exactly what she meant by "all" and after a quick count-- 64!!! And on top of that... I have a good feeling about tomorrow. Wish me luck everyone!

Saor Alba Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I only just got a 2009 Capitol cent in change yesterday. I still think I got more 2009 Ukrainian coins last year than I have seen of USA coins in the past four months dated 2009. I have seen several 2009 dated Canadians in change though, but I doubt I will see 2010 dated USA coins until much later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I still haven't seen a 2009 dime, much less a 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 On my recent drive to North Carolina, I finally!!! got a 2009-P dime! It was BU, so I put it in my shirt pocket so I wouldn't spend it, then put it safely in a 2x2 when I got home. I don't know that the final mintage was, but I've got to think the 2009 coins are the lowest mintage in the clad series meant for circulation. Oh, and this happened almost a year after I got my first 2009 dime in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I have seen several 2009 Canadian cents, actually more Canadian than USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 It's kind of sad that we have several threads devoted to the lack of 2009 and 2010 coins! If we were told 3 years ago that we'd have these kind of threads, no one would have believed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Not as much luck today. 9 2010-P dimes, 1 2010 penny, and a couple '09 pennies. I just looked up the current mintage figures (as of last month), and it looks like this year might not be quite as dry as last year was. http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_...=2010#starthere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
