<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3094908, member: 66&quot;]I always wonder why coins are so easy to get.&nbsp; It takes an EXTREMELY small number of coins being lost, destroyed, or hoarded to consume the entire annual mint production.&nbsp; There are roughly 82.5 million households in the country (assuming a population of 330 million and four people on average per houshold).&nbsp;&nbsp; So how many coins would you think have to be stashed to consume an annual mintage of 12 BILLION coins?&nbsp; Would you believe less than 3 coins per WEEK per household.</p><p><br /></p><p>You come home after one day and throw your change in a jar, and say you toss in a nickel and four pennies.&nbsp; That is the entire coinage &quot;allowance&quot; for your entire household for two weeks!&nbsp; Do that for five days, you have 25 coins and ten weeks worth of coins for the whole household. If each person in the household does the same thing in five days you have accumulated&nbsp; almost your entire annual &quot;quota&quot; of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
