Mint: July 2009

Mint data for Jan-July 2009 is out.

1cent: 1.6464 B
5cents: 86.64 M
10cents: 146.0 M
25cents: 379.12 M
50cents: 3.4 M
1dollar: 322.98 M (including 51.1 Native dollars)

Isolating the July data from the Jan-June totals:
1cent: 272.0 M
5cents: 6.96 M
10cents: none
25cents: 13.0 M
50cents: none
1dollar: 29.4 M (all Presidents)

2009 nickel production has resumed. July had the strongest showing of nickels since April, though levels are still down 80% from last year. Dimes still have not resumed production.

The 13 million quarters in July is the second lowest month for quarters since my records began in June 2006. It's not often that dollar coin production trumps quarter production, but this is one of those times.
