<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2750900, member: 66&quot;]No they aren&#039;t.&nbsp; They only HAVE to produce if the Fed requests the coins.&nbsp; They will normally produce some ahead of time to have on hand to fill Fed orders.&nbsp; There is no law that says they HAVE to produce any given business strike coin.&nbsp; Coins are authorized for production not mandated.&nbsp; In 2001 the Fed told the mint they would not be ordering any more half dollars until further notice.&nbsp; Since then they have only made a small number for mint sets and to sell directly to collectors, none for circulation.&nbsp; Same with the Sac dollars after 2001, and all the dollar coins after 2011.&nbsp; And since the fed isn&#039;t ordering any the mint could stop striking halves and NA dollars at any time they so choose.&nbsp; But they make money selling them to collectors at a fat profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
