Production of this year’s state quarters is down from previous years. 648 million Tennessee quarters were minted; compare that to others on the mintage chart. The 2002-P Ohio quarter has the lowest mintage for one mint, 217.2 million. There has not been as much demand for coinage with the economy downturn. Also, the Pennsylvania mint was closed for six weeks, while they should have been producing Ohio quarters, to fix some OSHA concerns. Louisiana is out, so I’m losing ground fast in my hunt.
