Question regarding NIFCs

Is a 2009-D Sacagawea dollar an NIFC (not intended for circulation) coin? I have one that I got in change. I know 2002-date Kennedys are NIFC, but I am not sure about the dollar coins.

2009-D Sacs were issued for circulation. That's not to say that many of them did circulate, though.

 

Some Sacs are NIFC. I beleive it's 2002 through the last date before they started doing the Native American changing reverses (2007 or 2008?).

 

Like SBA dollars they were intended for circulation, but poorly marketed and so are not widely circulated.

 

Well some were not intended for circulation, the 2002-2008.

are the 2012's going to be nifc like the presidential dollars?

 

I didn't think so, but I don't know. I assumed those mintage figures I posted for 2012 are estimates for year to date mintages.
But again, I don't know.
