I got 3 2009 Lincoln log cabin pennies in change in Palm Springs back in March (at a Starbucks). Other than that, no 2009’s. I also got a 2009 DC quarter from a vending machine in Portland Oregon.
If any sort of financial sanity and reality prevailed at the US Mint, and with American coins and currency in general, we would have decades ago stopped minting those pathetically USELESS cents, and more recently given up on five cents and dimes as well. Just keeping even with inflation since the 1930’s, when the cent was our lowest denomination coin, we would have the quarter as our lowest value coin today, given the dollar has lost 95% of its purchasing power since then.
In addition, we would have long ago stopped printing dollar bills (which as a merchant I HATE!), and fives and tens as well, replacing them with coins.
Why does this obvious fact of our depreciating dollar and its impact on circulating coins and bills never seem to get any attention?
Even if there’s a recession and people aren’t using them they still should make enough for collectors. And if there was a small amount made why aren’t any listed on ebay?
Where are all the 2009-D Roosevelt dimes? I’ve seen quite a few 2009-P Roosevelt dimes on ebay but not a single 2009-D yet. The production numbers for the 2009-D are 49,500,000 so where are they all?
2009 Jeff Nickels production is listed as about 38M each for Phila and Denver. I have obtained one from the Phila mint but haven’t
heard/seen anything concerning the Denver mint. Has the Denver mint
actually minted the 2009-D nickel? If so, does anyone know the release date?
The only way that I can see to get 2009 dimes and nickels from both mints is to purchase the uncirculated coin set from the US Mint. At $27.95 this sounds like a bargain compared to what the 2009 dimes and nickels have been selling for on ebay.
I would suggest that you go to a few local banks or ones that you have accounts with and ask for the coins you are looking for. You may even find a roll or two of the 2009’s that you are looking for!!

This is frustrating. I have not found a single 2009 coin in circulation yet.

I have only found the DC quarters at a Carl’s Jr. and I bought a roll off them. Its the only time I’ve seen 2009 coins in circulation.

Same expereience here.
The US Mint also recently cancelled my confirmed backorder of pennies that I purchased before they cut off sales
