Are the 2008 halves issued for circulation? I've found a few p mints lately and recall looking at a red book and it showing that after the previous 7 years, they are circulating them again. Can anyone point me to some info on this. Also wondering about 2009 halves(haven't seen any of those ).

I would also be curious in the answer. 2002-2007 I know are not for circulation, and I've heard something about 2001, but what about the more recent 2008-2009?

As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?

I don't think the policy on halves has changed from 2002 to present. All halves 2002-present are probably "Not Intended For Circulation".

I don't like the NIFC phrase. I think it should be called what it is, "collector demand only".

'08 and '09 Halves are not minted for general circulation.
The mint will sell you a bag for a mark-up, though.

There's profit if you melt things!!

I've found up to '02 in circulation, but so far nothing newer than that.

Are you throwing that out?

like the others have said 08's or 09's are "collector demand only".

Only thing i will add is the 2001-p is NIFC also or "collector demand only".

Inquiring minds want to know
