Check out Coin News website

Good evening fellow members,

I just finished reading about the US Mint announcing suspension

of further production of 2009 dimes and nickels.

The figures are all published on Coin News website. I guess

a visit to the local banks may be in order for the next few days

to secure a few rolls just for the heck of it.

Here is some of the news that I "cut and Paste" from the article:

This is the news by Mike Unser / Coin News for Collectors:

US Mint Halts 2009 Nickels and Dimes Production

By Mike Unser on Apr 29th, 2009 in Coin Production Figures, Coin or Numismatic News, United States Mint News and Information | 4 Comments:

The United States Mint has halted production of circulating 2009 Jefferson nickels and 2009 Roosevelt dimes for the rest of this year, according to the latest issue of Coin World. As the dime and nickel production graphs show, the stoppage creates historic, staggering low mintages for the two coins ? levels not seen since the 50s.

Coin Word?s Paul Gilkes reports the US Mint made the announcement on April 23, and included details of a scale back in producing for other circulating coins, like the three remaining 2009 Lincoln Pennies.

Hope this is of some interest to the membership.

Happy collecting and good night from Atlanta
