US Mint Pauses Production and Sales of 2022 Morgan and Peace Dollars

Popular Historic Program Will Return in 2023

 

The United States Mint has announced that it will forgo the production and sales of Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars in 2022. This calculated pause is directly related to the global pandemic’s impact upon the availability of silver blanks from the Mint’s suppliers. The suspension will give the Mint time to evaluate the best way to allocate its limited supply of silver to ensure the best customer experience it can.

“We’ll be required to make business decisions like this until the supply chain for silver blanks recovers from the disruptions caused by COVID-19,” said Mint Deputy Director Ventris C. Gibson.

“I want to ensure that our customers know,” she said, “that the modern renditions of the historic Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars will continue next year. Our goal is straightforward: to give our loyal customers the products they want and the service they deserve.”

About the United States Mint

usmintThe US Mint was created by Congress in 1792 and became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. It is the Nation’s sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce.

Since Congress created the United States Mint on April 2, 1792, the primary mission of the Mint is to produce an adequate volume of circulating coinage for the nation. As a self-funded agency, the United States Mint turns revenues beyond its operating expenses over to the General Fund of the Treasury. Other responsibilities include: Maintaining physical custody and protection of the Nation's $100 billion of U.S. gold and silver assets; Manufacturing and selling platinum, gold, and silver bullion coins; and Overseeing production facilities in Denver, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point, as well as the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

  1. The freaking Government doesn’t make enough money, so they sell a dollar coin for $22.00 and up. Are we all tired of paying more for nothing and paying politicians money for doing nothing? One way or another, we are getting screwed.

    • Ace, you do realize that this “dollar coin” contains pure silver worth $22 or so before any collectors premium is added?

      • “products they want service they deserve-” hahahaha ahhhh ok right so a bunch of malarkey is what we want and deserve? If the treasury can’t secure 2 million silver blanks it ain’t due to covid Sugar…its due to a squeeze and fiat going down fast. Oh forgot to add I think the mint is full of baloney.
