I don't think that our average coin sees that type of circulation any longer. I think that there are so many being produced that they spend a great deal of their "lives" sitting in bank vaults and not in use.   07-01-2007, 10:59 AM   #2 (permalink) USS656 Darryl - Numismatist     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Steeler Nation Posts: 4,168 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Art I really like the well worn coins.

I wonder if they stayed in circulation longer because the metal was actually worth something (I guess Dougs posting about India would contridict that thought) so the banks were not as compelled to send them back to the fed. Unfortunately, with the modern age we have better systems in place to pull old coins and bills out of circulation to be replace with new money.
