<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 577986, member: 17753&quot;]I&#039;ve seen some 2008 coins . . . but I have yet to see a single 2009 coin of <b>any </b>denomination (except for what I&#039;ve purchased).&nbsp; (I live in the DC area -- haven&#039;t even seen a DC quarter!)</p><p><br /></p><p>But, as the older, wiser, folks here keep saying:that&#039;s because of the &quot;backwash&quot; of coins.&nbsp; I.e., in times of recession, the flow of coins from federal reserve to banks to customers is somewhat reversed -- meaning: customers are bringing coins <b>to</b> the bank more so than in other years, so that the 2009 coins will be slow to get into circulation.&nbsp; But (as the wiser older folks keep saying) there are way too many 2009 coins for them <b>not</b> to find their way into circulation -- it&#039;s just that it may take many more months than usual.&nbsp; (A few folks here have pointed out that they didn&#039;t see their first 2008 penny till the latter part of last year).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
