[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1003090, member: 19065"][b]I'm just trying to figure this out...[/b] [I]First the question:[/I] I think perhaps the terms were not correctly applied in the question to begin with thus creating the confusion... "Face value" ($/¢) should have been [I]denomination[/I] and "produced in 2008" (production) does mean [I]mintage[/I] in this aspect of coin production. The request to order the results from highest to lowest face value was simply the reverse of what you put into the question, "Penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half, dollar." [U]unless[/U] you meant to multiple each denomination by it's mintage and order the total dollar value ($ figure) from highest to lowest(?). [I]If that was the case[/I], then I am not sure what order to put these in, as there seems to be two possibilities: [B]i)[/B] the face value of individual coins (1.00, 0.50, 0.25, 0.10, 0.05, 0.01) -OR- [B]ii) [/B]the total dollar value of each denomination multiplied by the mintage, number of coins produced for each denomination that year highest to lowest. Using d.t's answers to multiply mintage by denomination, I get this, IN ORDER of ($) value from highest to lowest: [COLOR=navy] Denomination : Mintage -- Face value x Mintage = $ value per denomination minted in 08 [/COLOR] dollar=461 million -- Face value of $1.00 x 461M = [B]$461,000,000[/B] quarter=608 million -- Face value of $0.25 x 608M = [B]$152,000,000[/B] dime=101 million -- Face value of $0.10 x 101M = [B]$10,100,000[/B] nickel=31 million -- Face value of $0.05 x 31M = [B]$1,550,000[/B] half=1.7 million -- Face value of $0.50 x 1.7M = [B]$850,000[/B] cent=54 million -- Face value of $0.01 x 54M = [B]$540,000 [I] Am I still confused?[/I][/B][B]?? :o [/B][/QUOTE]
