Most of the lower mintage numbers are in the older issues. There is stronger numismatic demand for those. IIRC, Treasury currently is unlawfully limiting production, between that and current demand this is probably going to level out.
We have more than enough minted to go back to pre 1933 money system backed by gold and silver.
You mean, like RUSSIA?
Extraordinary, the likeness between Putin and Trump regarding RUSSIA FIRST and AMERICA FIRST policy goals.
I know Russia is still climbing out of communism, but it’s plain as day that Putin has been trying to climb out, ever since his arrival in the big chair.
His quiet prep for what he knew was coming caught the world flat footed.
The “crushing” Sanctions scalded the sanctioners.
Meanwhile, Putin stands up BRICS and unites the greater land masses, even Brazil, with Saudia Arabia, China, India, etc., against suckling on the dollat, and who will.not.yield.sovereignty.
Mexico is considering to dump the USD, as well.
