<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 547515, member: 4626&quot;]Problem with that line of logic is that GSA dollars, JFK half dollars, and Sacagawea dollars never circulated to any great extent, and that&#039;s why they piled up.&nbsp; Pennies are used all the time... and while there&#039;s currently a currency backwash going on (the Federal Reserve is receiving more change back from banks than the banks are ordering back from them) due to the economy, eventually banks are going to need more pennies... inevitable some time this year they will need more, in the billions, and the new design this year is what&#039;s being minted according to legislation.&nbsp; It may be a while before banks see them... but eventually, they will, and lots of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether you&#039;re willing to wait for that to happen or not is really the main determining factor for whether or not it&#039;s worth it to you to pay $9 for two rolls that you&#039;ll see in a week or two or whether you&#039;re willing to wait the months it will probably be before you can get them for face value in significant quantites.&nbsp; Right now, I&#039;d say go for it, if you want them badly enough.&nbsp; Eventually though it will be pretty easy to get these (and the other 3 designs) for face value in any quantity you want.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d guess at least 3 billion (amongst all 4 of the different designs) will probably be minted this year.&nbsp; 2 billion at the very least.&nbsp; The currency backwash is delaying the distribution of 2009 coinage right now, but that won&#039;t last forever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
