<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8053350, member: 105098&quot;]I don&#039;t know exactly when the bags and rolls thing started, I&#039;d assume with half dollars though and it progressed from there, Quarters started with the state quarters though and then they did it with dollar coins, the 2009 cents with the 4 reverses. I think it either needs to be a coin they aren&#039;t distributing that year to circulation but have authority to mint, so they have to mint some each year anyways, </p><p>&nbsp;or a collector/commemorative style thing like they do on the reverses for the last couple decades that people most likely will want to buy. Like with the quarters I know they sold them in rolls and bags in 2004..... I don&#039;t &quot;think&quot; they were doing it in 1999 when the state quarters began though, I&#039;m really not sure but I can&#039;t find info to verify they were selling them by bags and rolls then, Of course that was back when the Fed was doing distribution to banks themselves and you could request rolls from any bank and they would&nbsp; request from the fed and the fed would deliver them to the banks for the customers, that stopped in 2012 but was being phased out from like 2004 I think.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know all of this well, I tried to pay attention to it as this all occurred, and figure out what was going on when the fed transitioned to &quot;distribution hubs&quot; and contractors for distribution management and just conducted inventory oversight. they didn&#039;t make it easy though, the transition period from around 2004-2012 wasn&#039;t very publicized. The mint selling bags and rolls directly of certain things I think is an expansion of the kennedy half *NIFC* thing because that was working, and them finding a way to make rolls of certain desirable designs available, the 2004 nickels, the 2009 cents, the state quarters, the NA dollars, ect. for a profit, to collectors in that format instead of the fed just giving them away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
