Circulating coins updated

Good to see they have updated these without me having to nag them.
Easier than using the annual reports. Other values too, just pick your coin.

Its been a while since I looked at the mintages.
Thanks for the reminder!

I'm amazed to find the 2021 dollar is still holding at barely 160,000. It's a rarity for RAM not to reuse the dies and whack out more, but given this much time, hopefully that is now official.

2023 was clearly a very unusual year with no circulating coin production for all denominations bar the $1. The sale prices for 2023 Mint sets have largely been modest so far. 

Anyone know why that happened? Were there considered to be sufficient coins in circulation with the drop off in cash usage? Impacted by the need for new designs for the change of monarch?

Given the lack of 2021 $1s I would have expected the 2021 mint set to sell for a fortune, but no. Bought one the other day for $35, barely more than they were issued for.

The 2021 sets were going for $60+ last year but started to tail off from about March 2024 and have been on a decline since. I can't get my head around why that happened. The mintages for most of the denominations, aside from the $1, are pretty sizeable but would have still thought the scarcity of the $1 would have bumped up the prices as you say. :dontknow:

Hm that is odd - I thought that the Queen's death pushed things up a bit if anything.
