Hello all,
I am a newbie on the forum so if I am missing on some resource that is widely available please let me know. As my name suggests I love collecting nickels. I truly think they are an under-appreciated denomination. I do admit that I also hoard them. I have noticed, however, that it is already May of 2013 and have yet to see a single nickel dated for this year. Does anyone know if the mint plans on releasing 2013 nickels for circulation? Or does the "new year" start later. Any and all information is welcome.
P.S. Lurked a while and I love this forum.

Welcome aboard!
Some have been circulating according to others.
I picked up an uncirculated set at the post office.

Thanks for that timely answer. Does the RCM release production statistics? And if so, when would that happen? |

It is typical for current year coins not to show up in circulation until around this time of the year. Here's a link to the mint annual reports which will show the production numbers. 2012 was just posted so 2013 will be about a year from now. http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/about....UYXVY51zYs8 |

The Mint took a while to get the 2013 coins out, first seemed to appear on the West coast. There are rolls on ebay now so it won't take long for them to show up every where  |

I made a topic about a 2013 nickel a while back. I've still only found the one plus 4 2013 quarters and this was all about a month or 2 ago.

2013 coins only seem to come out once the weather gets nice. As soon as it hit 20 degrees, 2013 quarters and nickels were pouring out of vending machines. I have yet to find a 2013 dime, though.
Oh, but I found 2013 de Salaberry quarters a full month before caribou 2013 quarters. Mysterious.

I have found quite a few 2013 Nickels, but no other denomination from 2013.

Thank you all so much for your kind welcomes and informative answers. I am accumulating quite a few coloured De Salaberrys. Probably will have a roll just from change as they seem pretty common here in the Ottawa area.
But come to think about it, I haven't really seen any 2013 coins except the above mentioned.

Yay! Found my first 2013 in my CRH. Put it in a cardboard 2x2 to mark the occasion.

When I was a kid, I used to think that the new years' coins were only released in Ottawa on January 1, and slowly traveled outwards, at walking speed. It made sense to me, living in Western Canada...

Found my first 2013 CRH today too; along with the 1991 I was looking for.
