The following articles provide the latest news and information on United States Mint coin production figures. In general, the United States Mint publishes updated coin production figures on a monthly basis — usually a previous month’s data is released during the first week of a new month. In addition to the below articles, an overview of circulating production dating back from 1999 through to the current year is available on the CoinNews.net page: US Mint Circulating Coin Production. Detailed information on each of the released $1 coins is also available at: Presidential $1 Coin Production.
Circulating coin production totals from the United States Mint were sharply higher in January 2012 as compared to the previous month and from the same time period of a year ago — despite plummeting mintages of Presidential $1 coins and Native American $1 coins.

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 [...]
