<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 209014, member: 6641&quot;]OK, this is where those that really understand this stuff may look at these comments/questions and say this guy still has much to learn.&nbsp; That&#039;s OK, I&#039;m guilty and have not been conditioned to deny fault like many others (especially politicians of any party affiliation).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Doug was nice enough the other day to clarify a statement I threw out there about how money gets distributed and the demand by the public really affects how much is made and then sent to banks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The government has written into law that 1/3 of the dollar coins made shall be the Sac&#039;s. How many of those will make it into distribution.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li>Does the government/us mint publish distribution numbers?</li> <li>When they are not distributed, how long does the mint hold onto the coins?</li> <li>Is it a case by case decision or is there laws/rules that control these activities?</li> <li>If they are destroyed at some point prior to ever getting circulated, is that published?</li> <li>Does the fed distribute coins minted in one year in the following years if there is supply and demand for a specific denomination? If yes, how do they decide between current dates and older dates?</li> </ul><p>I have seen comments about coins being destroyed but not so much with coins made in my lifetime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is where I really get onto shaky ground so please be sure to help with my lack of knowledge.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My point is there may be 300 million made but the distribution numbers may be very small compared to the presidents this year.&nbsp; If they later destroy a large quantity of them, then this year may become a key year for that coin.?.&nbsp; The assumption I am making is that they would be collectible to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
