That said they likely did mint some last year for circulation as the P and D mintage was over 10 million which is more than double what it usually is Report this Post to the Staff
DeputyMax Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 6:20 pm Basebal21, right about the bags and rolls. Also the 2013 mintage was just shy of 10 million (9.6 million) after 5 straight years of under 4 million. Then they went 4 more years of 4 to 5 million (2014 through 2017) until 2018 when they went up to over 10 million like you said. It would be interesting to find out what caused the spikes in production for those years. Report this Post to the Staff

It's just to big a jump with no known special big money variety or anything to be a numismatic order increase. My first guess was casinos since that's basically what they all use for a half dollar chip, which if that was the case I would classify that as a circulation issue Edited by basebal21 04/10/2019 6:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
