Mint: February 2009

The Mint has released the February 2009 totals:
1cent: 536.8 M
5cents: 53.28 M
10cents: 109.0 M
25cents: 210.8 M
50cents: 3.4 M
1dollar: 119.56 M (including 7.98 M Sacagaweas)

Subtracting out the January numbers:
1cent: 242.8 M
5cents: 39.12 M
10cents: 56.5 M
25cents: 139.0 M
50cents: none
1dollar: 42.0 M
Total coins: 519.42 M
Average value per coin: $0.167

Year-over-Year (YoY) data comparing Feb'09/Feb'08:
1cent: down 43%
5cents: down 42%
10cents: down 38%
25cents: down 35%
overall: down 36%

Keep in mind that the 2008 numbers were low to begin with. I had previously considered that 2008 would be the key dates to many future collections, but it looks like 2009 might have even lower mintages.

Where are the Denver Sacagaweas? Only 700,000 minted so far, compared to 7.28 million Phillies.
