Mint: June 2009

Jan-June 2009 totals for the US Mint:

1cent: 1,374.4 Million
5cents: 79.68 M
10cents: 146.0 M
25cents: 366.12 M
50cents: 3.4 M
1dollar: 293.58 M (including 51.1 Native dollars)

Isolating the June numbers:

1cent: 228.8 M
5cents: 480,000
10cents: none
25cents: 69.2 M
50cents: none
1dollar: 55.3 M (all presidents)

This marks the first meager production of 2009 nickels since April 23, when nickel and dime production was indefinitely halted. Dime production has not yet resumed.

P and D mintmarks for nickels are at parity, while P dimes outnumber Ds by two to one.

By quantity so far, dollars are the third-most minted coin of 2009.

If my predictions hold for the rest of the year, 2009 could be the lowest cent mintage since 1966, the lowest nickel mintage since 1951, the lowest dime mintage since 1955, the lowest quarter production since 1977, and overall the lowest Mint output since 1963.
