<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dockwalliper, post: 3381, member: 392&quot;]Every year the mint produces millions of Kennedy half dollars. I know some are sold in mint sets etc. What happens to the bulk of these coins? If I go to the bank and get a roll of halfs it always contains dates in the mid 70s. Is there any record of what years the mint released coins for buisness use? Are these coins sitting at the mint waiting to be used? Have they been melted down? I know that with the SBA dollars the mint only produced them for 3 years and worked them off over the next 19 years til they needed to make some in 1999. It would seem that it would take 100s of years to use all the halfs produced in the last 30 years. Just wondering. On a similar note, I have heard that the newer Sacky dollars are not being released for circulation,but I have several 2001P&#039;s that I recieved in change from a transit fare machine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
