<p>[QUOTE="bobbeth87, post: 854023, member: 18369"]In April of 2009, the mint announced they would not be producing anymore 2009 dimes or nickels due to the low demand (bad economy and all of the people returning coins to coinstar and similar machines). This was reported in CoinWorld. This meant that there was going to be the lowest mintage in 40 years for these two issues. As it stands, there were about 96 million p dimes and 40 million D dimes as well as p and d nickels (approximate).</p><p> </p><p>So, in May of last year, I found 2009 P dimes and mentioned it here on Cointalk. Several people encouraged me to put it on ebay. I did. What followed was incredible. People paid crazy prices on my auctions (because I was the first) and I made a lot of money selling current year P mint dimes. Then another CT member found P dimes and nickels in Puerto Rico and made many times more than me on ebay. </p><p> </p><p>As it stands, the 2009 D dimes and nickels (business strike) have not be released from the Fed.
