Mint: August 2009

Mint data for August 2009 is here.

Jan-Aug 2009:

1cent = 1.9332 Billion
5cents = 86.64 Million
10cents = 146.0 M
25cents = 441.72 M
50cents = 3.4 M
1dollar = 325.22 M (including 51.1 M Native dollars)

Subtracting out the Jan-July data gives results just for August:

1cent = 286.8 M
5cents = none
10cents = none
25cents = 62.6 M
50cents = none
1dollar = 2.24 M (all Presidents)

August was the most productive month for cents since January.

After two months of trace production, nickel mintages have ceased again.

This is the fourth consecutive month without dimes.

August was the slowest month for dollars since November 2008.

Fun Fact: Compared to 31 August 2008, cent mintages are only 54% of what they were last year.

If my year-end projections hold true, I predict the final 2009 mintages to be:
1cent: 2.8 billion, the lowest since 1966
5cents: 130 million, the lowest since 1967
10cents: 150 million, the lowest since 1955
25cents: 660 million, the lowest since 1977
1dollar: 490 million, the best non-debut year for small dollars since introduction in 1979.
Total Output: 4.3 billion coins, the lowest since 1963
