<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 208448, member: 112&quot;]Well not exactly. The Fed only distributes coins that are ordered by the independent banks. If there are no orders, not a single coin is sent out by the Fed. The Fed also tells the US Mint how many coins ( for circulation ) to actually make and they do so based on the orders they receive from the banks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, the banks of course decide how many coins to order from the Fed based upon the requests of their customers, primarily their commercial customers - all the supermarkets, grocercy stores, Walmarts, Targets, mall stores etc etc. And of course those stores base their orders upon the amount of sales they have to their customers. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, when it comes right down to it, <u>we, the public</u> decide how coins will be distributed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
