Mint: Ocotober 2009

Mint data for Jan-Oct 2009 is here:

1cent = 2.2924 Billion
5cents = 86.64 Million
10cents = 146.0 M
25cents = 522.12 M
50cents = 3.80 M
1dollar = 420.98 M (including 71.26 M native american dollars)

By subtracting the Jan-Sep totals, we get October only:

1cent = 266.0 M
5cents = none
10cents = none
25cents = 52.6 M
50cents = 200,000
1dollar = 35.0 M (all Presidents)

Like last month, the Mint upped the number of half dollars. Last time, it was Denver's turn; now it's Philly's turn and by the same amount, too.

Third straight month without nickels. Sixth straight month without dimes.

One out of every eight 2009 coins is a dollar coin.

I predict that the final mintage totals for 2009 won't break four billion coins.
