The U.S. Mint has announced that they are cutting back on the production of Sacagawea dollar coins. Not surprised, are you? Banks report little demand from retailers and retailers report little demand from consumers. So much for the multimillion dollar advertising campaign. But if demand does happen to pick up for some reason, no need to fret, the Mint has about 324 million Sacagawea coins in storage. In related news, the Ohio state quarter is now in circulation. Featuring an early aircraft and an astronaut, some of these coins were carried on a recent space shuttle mission. Meanwhile, I haven’t gotten my hands on any Tennessee quarters yet.
