<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 618870, member: 68&quot;]This is essentially correct I believe.&nbsp; They adopted FIFO accounting in 1972 and they were still releasing brand new 1965 coins in 1975 so apparently it took three years to entirely rotate their coinage stocks in those days.&nbsp; This has fluctuated over the years but has been lower in this century.&nbsp; The rules are getting bent a little bit to rush states issues into the public&#039;s hands and there are somewhat older quarter stocks around it appears.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Before 1972 I believe they just grabbed whatever was handiest out of storage.&nbsp; This meant some issues would get into circulation almost immediately while others like 1965 and 1969-D dimes sat in the vaults.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
