<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 826882, member: 11668&quot;]Decades ago the Federal Reserve Banks used to maintain cash windows where the public could walk up and obtain (among other things) new currency and coin.&nbsp; That service was eliminated because it was (a) an unneccesary expense, (b) a minor security risk, and (c) almost never taken advantage of by anyone save collectors anyway, which wasn&#039;t supposed to be the point.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back to the topic of the thread: Check the <a href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;allCoinsYear=2010#starthere" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&amp;allCoinsYear=2010#starthere" rel="nofollow">production figures</a> on the Mint&#039;s website.&nbsp; As of February 28, no 2010 nickels or quarters have been produced yet at either Mint facility, and Denver has also made no 2010 dimes.&nbsp; You can&#039;t find them in circulation when they don&#039;t exist!&nbsp; The quarters will have to be struck eventually for the National Parks commem program; but there&#039;s speculation that, with the economy in the shape it&#039;s in, we might get all the way through 2010 with no mintage of nickels.&nbsp; (But they&#039;d probably still produce them for the mint sets and proof sets....)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
