Because of recession, most Federal Branches have excess of coins so they don't order new coins from US mint. By the middle of 2010, nickels minted in 2009 started to show up in a few cities. A few lucky CRHers noticed this phenomenon and took advantage of it. They bought boxes from the bank and resold on ebay as rolls or boxes. So most of 2009 nickels are still lay in people garage. I was lucky to have my hands on a few boxes of 2009D nickels and I sold them all except two rolls.
