MINT's January 2010 totals are here:
1cent: 115.23 M
5cents: none
10cents: none
25cents: none
50cents: 3.5 M
1dollar: 99.68 M (including 25.2 M Native American dollars)
TOTAL COINS: 218.41 M
Average value per coin: $0.470
The month's mintages are split nearly evenly between cents and dollars, with what is probably the year's only half dollars minted on the side.
This is the sixth consecutive month without nickels, and the ninth consecutive month without dimes. Will the Mint resume nickel and dime production before 2010 ends? Maybe. If they don't, it will be the first year that either denometation was skipped since 1933.
No quarters this month, since the National Park series designs are still in development and the first coin, Hot Springs, won't launch until April. Expect quarters to be struck over the next few months.
As with 2009, the Mint's fascination with dollar coins continues. The elevated mintages of the Presidential series suggests that demand is being propped up by collector interest, despite the negative opinions of the series in the coin media.

Mint: 2009 Year in Review
Mint: 2009 Year in Review
1cent: 2.354 B
5cents: 86.64 M
10cents: 146.0 M
25cents: 533.92 M
50cents: 3.80 M
1dollar: 423.64 M (including 71.26 M Native American dollars)
TOTAL QTY: 3.548 B
Fewest cents struck since 1966.
Fewest nickels and dimes struck since 1955!
Fewest quarters struck since 1977.
Fewest total coins since 1962!
One out of every eight coins dated 2009 is a dollar coin. The Presidential dollar coin series retained 87% of its mintage levels from the previous year, making it the absolute best third-year run for a small dollar. In fact, considering that the common four denominations all lost at least half their mintages from last year, the fact that the dollar coin almost maintained it's previous mintage levels speaks volumes. I'd say the President series has been a great success compared to the 90% mintage cuts in the Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea dollars' follow-up years.
