<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 546170, member: 17753&quot;]Gosh, for a semi-newbie, it&#039;s hard to know!</p><p><br /></p><p>But one thing that seems convincing to me (or am I too naive) is that the &quot;<a href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;allCoinsYear=2009#starthere" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;allCoinsYear=2009#starthere" rel="nofollow">2009 Circulating Coin Production - January 2009 through February 2009</a>&quot; shows 342 million D&#039;s and 195 million P&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my questions are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Those are all log-cabin&#039;s, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; If we extrapolate out, the 1/2-billion for 2 months, then it&#039;d be like 3 billion for a year (divided by four, I suppose, one each for the four designs)</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; That seems like a lot, doesn&#039;t it?&nbsp; I mean, 3 billion cents will _have_ to go to banks _eventually_, right?&nbsp; (Granted, it&#039;s not like the 5.5 B of 2008, or 7+ B of 2007, but 3 B is not a terribly _low_ mintage, is it?&nbsp; Where are all these cents going to go?&nbsp; They have to eventually reach a bank, no?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I missing anything from the above logic?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
