Crazy, I think he is referring to Canadian dimes.
Force, I read today on the forum that there was a strike that year at the mint but I cannot confirm that with the limited time I have right now. That would explain the reason for the low mintage that year.

My dad put a roll away that year. Part of that roll has fallen into my hands. Despite the smaller quantity (I do not know why) I doubt they'd go for much more than a buck a piece to a dealer. I might ask around one day.

Just so there is no misunderstanding and to help our American friends, when posting on the CANADIAN Coin Forums, We should put as the first word in the subject title CANADIAN. |

I have collected 1970 nickels since I was young, a friend noted the low mintage back then. The mintage of nickels was about 1/5 of the average of the previous and next years mintages. The dime and quarter were about 11%. I did hear something about a strike that year. Here is a comparison.  Source: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.phpEdited by SilverDon

I don't know anything about the strike, but I've heard it said in the past that some years the mint will hold back on certain coins in circulation if they feel there's too many of them out there. In other words, why keep flooding the market?
Besides 1970, there's the 1991 quarter, and also several years in the late '90s where neither the quarter nor loonie was produced for circulation. Once things got more back to normal, then regular mintages resumed.
Can anyone confirm, or it is sometimes a multitude of reasons?

I was putting sets of 1970's together, the nickel-ten cent- and quarter and sold a few on kijiji for $15 bucks each and could have sold 100 if I'd had them.  |

as the first word in the subject title CANADIAN Does that mean that on the US and Aussie coin forms, we have to put 'American' or 'Australian' as the first word in the subject title ? |
