Wondering if anybody has a reliable source for the final 2024 mintage figures of circulating US coins? I went to the US Mint site and found the production numbers seem to differ significantly (lower) than information I found on coinnews.net which actually seems more logical than what the mint has reported. One example is that the mint reported 69.5 million P and D nickels in total while the other site indicated around 113 million in total. I don't know which figures to believe.

Just thinking the US Mint should know how many coins they actually minted!

Yes Marve, you would think that the mint figures would be correct but you have to wonder how efficient the government is in releasing accurate current information. According to the official mint records, they indicate a lower number of 2024 nickels produced than that of 2009. Can that be right?

Here's an older thread https://goccf.com/t/474330&whichpage=1

But even Face Book says 70 million mintage so it has to be true

Looks like "Numista" states 112.8 million too
https://en.numista.com/forum/topic155176.html

But realistically, everywhere else I had checked stated the 70 million mintage.

It isn't just the discrepancy with the nickel totals. If you go to the official US mint website they will break down the total mintages of each of the 2024 Women's quarters and indicate a grand total of all women's P quarters at 858.8 million, and all the D quarters at 822 million. On this same site if you look under circulating coinage for 2024 it will indicate 525 million P quarters and 537.2 million D quarters. In other words, one official mint record doesn't jive with another official mint record.

The Royal Australian Mint usually publishes full mintage figures sometimes as much as three years after the current date,
because they may use perfectly good unused working dies from previous years, rather than destroying them.

Thus, a coin bearing a particular date could have the possibility of being struck in any of the previous three years.
It becomes necessary to glean the total mintage of a particular type and date, by examining the total mintage for that coin over three mint reports, but full and accurate mintage information can still be found.
Nevertheless, still somewhat frustrating the Australian collector, unless some detective work is done.

Being that the United States mint strikes all coinage the figures obviously originate from them. So this begs the question as to where outside sources get their information. Simply stated, accuracy lies in the recording of the mint and what's reported to the Treasury. Ultimately, with the sheer volumes produced do they really matter from a collecting stand point? Unlike in the distant past when the figures were say, 59 million one year and 1.2 million the next (1920-21 dime).
