<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1899630, member: 24633"]I think the problem lies in the fact that the term "Not Intended For Circulation" (NIFC) is incorrectly used and even misunderstood when it comes to all of the denominations you've mentioned. Congress mandates that a certain MINIMUM of these circulation-quality coins must be struck each year, but the decision to release them into circulation is left to the discretion of the Treasury Department and/or the US Mint. To add to the confusion is the fact that these coins do not necessarily have to be released in the year they were produced. A perfect example of this is the 2001 P&D Kennedy's that were released in bags and rolls in 2004. Once the US Mint has met the minimum requirements set forth by Congress, they can choose at any time to halt, delay or storehouse production as they see fit. To be honest with you, they really aren't much different than Coin Vault, and will do whatever it takes to sell their products at the most opportune time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
