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.
