| US Mint October 2011 Coin Production: Quarters Surge, Pennies Top 4 Billion |
| |
 Unless the U.S. Mint is producing quarters for older designs, the Chickasaw quarter will have the highest mintage of any quarter since 2009. Fewer coins were minted for circulation in October, the latest coin production figures from the United States Mint reveal. In keeping with past months, Lincoln cents kept Mint presses busiest. Pennies hurdled over the 4 billion milestone this year. Also of note, while the Mint is yet to call finalized mintages for Garfield Presidential $1 coins, it would appear they are at — or are very close to — a stopping point. More interesting, unless the United States Mint is producing extra quarters with older designs, the upcoming release of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area Quarter will easily sport the highest mintages of any America the Beautiful Quarter. |
