Hey all, I started collecting the presidential coins and circulating coins end after the 20th president due to a law that stopped production of $1 coins besides mint sets I believe.
For the Sacagawea coins does that mean that the 2009/2010/2011 native american coins can be found in circulation or is the 2012 also available? I appreciate all your help. Thanks in advance! Edited by numismatic sensation

As soon as they were minted. Never was a demand.

People occasionally find proofs in circulation, so it's not impossible. But even in 2000-2001, they weren't really circulating.

All of the Sac and Presidential dollars I have gotten in change have come from vending machines (car wash, post office, etc). I put in $10 for a wash and 4 gold dollars pop out in change. I've even gotten a couple of SBA dollars that way. I received an Eisenhower gold dollar last time, so that is pretty recent. It was AU+. I think the folks who maintain these machines probably get rolls/bags of these and dump them in. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Sac dollars were made for circulation in 2000 and 2001. 2002 - 2008 were NIFC
NA dollars were made for circulation 2008 - 2011. 2012 to date are all NIFC.
Sometimes a NIFC coin can be found in circulation. They were not released that way by the Fed, but were spent by someone that bought rolls or bags/boxes for searching and then dumped at the bank.

Immediately upon release, these coins never circulated. The post office used them, certain vending companies used them, the public never did.

Don't give up hope on circulating coins. I'm putting together a circularing Pres dollar set and I just got a 2013 D Woodrow Wilson out of the dollar coin machine at a local car wash (my go to spot rather than the bank, which rarely if ever has any).
Caveat emptor-it took me about $80 in change over the past month to get that one post-2011 coin! At that rate, for a circulated date set I'll only need to get around $1280 in change for the other 16 2012-2016 specimens..... at least I can put a dent in the $100,000 circulating dollar competition that way!

to CCF! Most Sacagawea and NA Dollars don't circulate much, but I have received them in change from various machines. CCF members are trying to change that though, so you should check out our second edition of Project $100K: http://goccf.com/t/247505 |

Error is my last post NA dollars were for circulation 2009 (not 2008) - 2011 Quote:

Actually, there was a law but it acted differently than people are thinking. The Presidential dollar act required mintage, but did not specify quantity. The mint determined that the Fed would not be ordering additional small dollars, so it determined (in accordance with other laws and regulations) to only mint for collectors, not for circulation. So the later issues are NCLT. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |
