<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 556532, member: 15199&quot;]Interestingly, the 2009-D is very common in business tills here 12 miles north of Mexico border. I managed to get a box from the bank although they said they generally don&#039;t supply coins to customers with non-business accounts. They had to open 5 boxes before they found the cabins box.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the reason they are so common here is that the bank runs a negative balance of coins. Many more go out than come in, since change is taken back to Mexico by cross-border shoppers. There are many thousands a day, since the border city is well over 2 million and my county is less than 200,000. US money is considered safer than Mexican ,so they don&#039;t exchange it. Also many money orders are sent to Mexico from US , specified as payable in US funds, so those mexican offices have to get change from the nearest US sources.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
