<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1420496, member: 66&quot;]Low mintage yes, hoarding possibly, The Gov&#039;t feeling we have too many quarters definitely, poor distribution NO.&nbsp; There are plenty of quarters out there and there is no shortage so there isn&#039;t a reason to make a whole lot of new quarters.&nbsp; As for the distribution, how can it be poor when there is no planned distribution.&nbsp; It&#039;s not like the state quarters where they had to make them available to any bank that requested them during the ordering period for each new issue.&nbsp; With the ATB quarters they are back to the way coins were distributed before the state quarters.&nbsp; The fed orders quarters based on how may quarters they have in stock.&nbsp; Then when a bank orders quarters they get whatever happens to be on hand, circulated coins first and then when those run out new coins oldest first.&nbsp; And since circulated coins are always coming back into the fed banks as well that means the new coins are slow coming out and for the most part will go mostly to those areas that are &quot;coin sources&quot;.&nbsp; (Some areas of the country are &quot;coin sources&quot;.&nbsp; For some reason the banks in these areas can never seem to get enough coins and they always have more coins going out than coming back in.&nbsp; banks in these areas very seldomly send coins back to the fed.&nbsp; Other areas are exactly the opposite.&nbsp; They are &quot;coin sinks&quot; and they always have more coins coming in than going out and they are constantly returning coins to the Fed and never ordering any.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
