<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 166566, member: 112&quot;]If one were to take the time to go through the Red Book comparing denominations and dates you would find quite a few years when 1 or more denominations were not struck. And you will find plenty of years when a given denomination from a given mint has a very low mintage. It&#039;s pretty much always been that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>In simple terms that&#039;s because the mint strikes coins based on the orders it receives, today from the Fed, in years past from the Treasury Dept. During any given year the mint receives orders for coins that the banks think they will need in the coming year. And if the banks don&#039;t tell the mint they will need quarters, halves or whatever the next year, then few if any will be struck. That&#039;s just how it works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
