I got my first 3 2010 cents in change yesterday at a fast food restaurant in
Northern VA. I also got my first 2009 dime last week. Both were
Philadelphia mint issues. The dime showed some wear so it had been out
there for some time. Still looking for some 2009 nickels.

On a side note, I noticed and article the other day on Excite.com titled "US
Mint Production Wilts in Recession" and thought it could tell me something
about the effects of the recession on coin production, an area that I've
been interested in for some time. Instead, it was about the US peppermint
crop. Oh! Well! Bummer!

On that note, with the current vastly reduced new coin demand on the USMint
and their similarly curtailed production, IMHO, it would he a great
opportunity to 'pull the trigger' on setting an iron clad deadline on ending
$1 note production. Their currently unused production capacity should easily
allow enough $1 coins to be stockpiled (15G or so more will be needed) to
replace them all within 1.5-2 years.

Ramp up production starting with 2011-dated coins in early Jan of 2011 and
stop issuing new $1 notes as of 2013-01-01.
