<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4767913, member: 66&quot;]At the end on 2008 due to the housing collapse the economy went into a serious recession.&nbsp; In order to make ends meet a tremendous number of people deposited their change stashes.&nbsp; This resulted in the Federal Reserve being overrun with coinage.&nbsp; With so many coins on hand they determined that they now had enough supply on hand that they would not need to order any more nickels and dimes fro the rest of the year. They passed that information along to the mint and they ceased production of those coins I believe sometime in March 2009.&nbsp; The fed also had plenty of the other coins as well but the 2009 cents and quarters were &quot;special&quot; issues so their production continued.&nbsp; But if you look at the mintages you will find that the mintages for the cents and quarters were also greatly curtailed. in 2007 Philadelphia struck 3.8 billion cents, in 2008 2.6 billion, but in 2009 with four designs that were expected to be popular the total mintage was only 1.1 billion.&nbsp; The LP4 mintage was only 129 million.&nbsp; Denver was the same way 2007 3.6 billion 2008 2.8 billion, 2009 just 1.2 billion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The quarters were even worse&nbsp; the TOTAL 2009 mintage for both mints was 637 million for 6 designs.&nbsp; (the 2009 P Northern Mariana Islands was only 35 million)&nbsp; The 2008 Hawaii alone was 517 million.&nbsp; Total for 2008 was 2 billion.&nbsp; There just wasn&#039;t a need for new coins in 2009.</p><p><br /></p><p>The link to find the circulation coin production figures at the US Mint is </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.usmint.gov/about/production-sales-figures/circulating-coins-production#:~:text=Presidential%20%241%20Coins%2C%20Native%20American,be%20shown%20in%20circulating%20totals" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.usmint.gov/about/production-sales-figures/circulating-coins-production#:~:text=Presidential%20%241%20Coins%2C%20Native%20American,be%20shown%20in%20circulating%20totals" rel="nofollow">https://www.usmint.gov/about/production-sales-figures/circulating-coins-production#:~:text=Presidential $1 Coins, Native American,be shown in circulating totals</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
