<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 25955495, member: 5787&quot;]I&#039;m updating my initial post to see what has happened over the past decade with the circulation of the dime.&nbsp; Again, I choose the dime for no good reason. Here is a quick look at the average mintage in each decade of circulating dimes:</p><p><br /></p><p>1960&#039;s 1.072 billion/year</p><p>1970&#039;s 0.921 billion/year</p><p>1980&#039;s 1.490 billion/year</p><p>1990&#039;s 2.198 billion/year</p><p>2000&#039;s 2.188 billion/year</p><p>2010&#039;s 2.164 billion/year</p><p>2020&#039;s 2.334 billion/year</p><p><br /></p><p>I was expecting that the use of coins would be reducing in this age of electronic transfers and debit and credit cards, but it is not. It appears that the death of currency isn&#039;t happening at the pace that I would have expected. I&#039;m not sure if that is good or bad for our hobby but I&#039;m thinking good.&nbsp; As a note, there has been a sudden drop off in mintages of the 2024 dimes as well as cents, nickels, and quarters.&nbsp; Could it be harbinger of things to come?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
