<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2875758, member: 71723&quot;]So, original poster, your guess was correct. Different mintages are due to changes in something called &quot;aggregate demand&quot;, that is, demand for use in commerce as a whole. There is a &quot;floor&quot;, the number they mint for quasi-numismatic purposes (see golden dollars and Kennedy halves), and there is a &quot;ceiling&quot;, the practical production limit at full-bore production. If you get to visit the Philadelphia Mint, you&#039;ll no doubt see how much cent production dominates the striking areas. I&#039;ve never been inside the Denver Mint, but I&#039;m led to believe the &quot;tour&quot; is far different from the one in Philly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
