<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SFDukie, post: 64831, member: 2529&quot;]to elaborate a bit, the mint is supposed to mint the state quarters based on the needs of commerce, when it comes to circulating rather than numismatic sales.&nbsp; Clearly, they factor in all those 10 year olds setting aside SQs as well.&nbsp; In 2003 2004 and 2005 they decreased the production of SQs to about 450-480M per issue (both mints) save for the CA, TX and OR issues.&nbsp; Haven&#039;t heard a good explanation for why they increased OR production so much (CA and TX were only a hair over 520M and 540M, while OR was 720M) Numbers are here:</p><p><a href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;sqYear=2002#starthere" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;sqYear=2002#starthere" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;sqYear=2002#starthere</a> </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
