NEWS FLASH: Dollars, halves mintage changed (retro-blogged)

NEWS FLASH: At some point in the last ten days, the Mint edited the Jan-July totals.

Remember those 3,400,000 half dollars made in December 2007? Those have now been removed from the '07 mintages and added to the 2008 mintages, so my hunch that those coins were dated 2008 proved correct. I've retroactively attributed the halves mintage to January '08.

This means half dollar mintages are:
2007 P = 2,400,000
2007 D = 2,400,000
2008 P = 1,700,000
2008 D = 1,700,000

Also, 3,640,000 Sacagawea dollars were added to the 2008 data, while 1,820,000 were removed from the 2007-D data. I assume the Sacagawea mintage totals were not complete at the time the July numbers were initially released, and were added afterwards.

Sacagawea dollar mintages are as follows:
2007 P = 3,640,000
2007 D = 3,920,000
2008 P = 1,820,000 to date
2008 D = 1,820,000 to date

Mint: July 2008 (retro-blogged)

July '08 data is here.

Year-over-year info... pennies are DOWN 38.2%, and nickels are DOWN 43.2% compared to July 2007. This was the busiest month for nickels since February.

Denver is still wildly outproducing Philly in nickels and dimes. Don't know why.
