They are on the US mint page here:

That page has some links towards the bottom to lots of other mintage figures

Where are they keeping all those 1 dollar coins? There must be huge warehouses of them 'cause they sure aren't circulating!

My hope is that this huge reserve is a preparation for killing off the paper dollar.

I'm surprised by the decline in quarter production since the heyday of the State Quarter program.

2003 - 2,280,400,000
2004 - 2,401,600,000

This means the State Quarters were minted mainly for collecting. The 2009 Territory Quarters are much rarer than the State Quarters and appears the America the Beautiful Quarters are even rarer. It might make a difference if the America the Beautiful Quarters were available for ordering by the banks as the previous series were there would be a high demand for them. At least I would have bought a roll or two from the bank at face.
