<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 104299, member: 112&quot;]The mint strikes as many coins as they think they are going to need based on a report given to them by the Federal Reserve a few months in advance. In some years the Fed calls for fewer coins than they thought they would need. So this means the mint has coins left over. And this means that the next year they will strike fewer coins of that denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Unc rolls, those coins come right from the coins struck for circulation. The mint will order as many packaged as they think they can sell. If they sell more - they order more to be rolled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mint and Proof sets are produced based on expected sales. If sales go slow, they produce less. If sales are brisk - they produce more. Nobody, including the mint, knows in advance how many will be produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
