I think that the presidential and native american dollars were intended for circulation up through 2011 and starting in 2012 they both were NIFC. The list on page one of this thread is correct as far as I know.

Federal Reserve puts 2022 half dollars into circulation

The Federal Reserve has ordered millions of 2022 Kennedy half dollars for circulation and collectors are finding rolls of them at local banks.

There apparently is a need for Kennedy half dollars, as the Federal Reserve has placed orders for millions of circulation quality coins for release into commerce channels in 2022.

U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White informed Coin World July 1 that the bureau to date had shipped 5.2 million circulation quality Kennedy half dollars to the Federal Reserve — 3 million from the Denver Mint production and 2.2 million from the Philadelphia Mint.

Another 3.08 million coins — 1.54 million from each facility — were sold by the U.S. Mint above face value in bags and rolls.

A Coin World reader tipped the magazine about finding the coins in circulation.

“I know that in 2021 the Mint released tons of halves into circulation,” New York collector Dan Murphy wrote in a June 30 email to Coin World. “Has it happened again for 2022??? All rolls and bags were ‘sold out’ in May and made unavailable.

“I just came from my bank where I secured a large number of rolls of 2022-P Kennedy half dollars.”

Murphy said he was able to secure $500 face value in circulation quality 2022-P Kennedy half dollars from production at the Philadelphia Mint. Murphy obtained the coins from his local bank in Syracuse, New York.

The coins were in 20-coin paper-wrapped rolls, wrapped by the armored carrier Loomis for delivery to bank locations. Loomis Armored Services is one of the Federal Reserve’s contracted carriers for distribution of U.S. Mint-struck coins into general circulation.

Changes in 2021
The Federal Reserve ordered half dollars for circulation in 2021, two decades after it placed its last order for the denomination in 2001. The intervening lack of orders was due to lack of demand for the denomination.

The Mint confirmed the 2021 orders after collectors began reporting finding 2021 Kennedy half dollars in bank rolls.

By year’s end, 66% of the 15,166,400 circulation-quality finish 2021 Kennedy half dollars struck by the Denver and Philadelphia Mints, combined, were shipped to the Federal Reserve for release into circulation.

U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White indicated in December 2021 that 10.3 million 2021 Kennedy half dollars — 6.2 million 2021-D coins and 4.1 million 2021-P coins — were produced for circulation release.

The U.S. Mint struck additional 2021 Kennedy half dollars at the two Mint production facilities for numismatic product sale at premiums above face value.

From 2002 to 2020, all Kennedy half dollar production was destined for offerings of numismatic products, including the circulation-quality pieces, sold at premiums in bag and rolls.

Great news, thx hobo finds.

Found my first 2021 half on Oct 18th, let's see if I can beat that this year.

Also, they still consider 2018's NIFC huh? I still find bunches of them at the casino.

I was wondering about the 2018’s too. The last batch of teller tray halves I picked up had a few 2021’s and 2018’s. One of the 2018’s looks like it had been in circulation for a while.

$55 in small dollars from the bank today got me two NIFC's:

2002-P Sac
2013-P Wilson

2018 half mintage are up from other dates. 2018 P 4,800,000
2018 D 6,100,000 so makes sense. Nice dollar finds. As someone mentioned I am sure with time you could collect all the nifc dollar coins at face searching.

2018 production is actually a little larger than 2021, so maybe they were released for circulation. Would it take a FOIA request to get this info from the mint? From memory I think typical production for the NIFC halves is about 1 million from each mint.

$26 in small dollars from the bank today got me two NIFC's:

2013-P (Taft)

Did some number crunching and figured out that of the 171 different small dollars issued 1979-2022 (not including proofs), 113 are NIFC. If you want to put together a set of IFC's there are only 58 to gather. I'm a mere four coins away from completing the IFC's, and I've found 20 different NIFC's.

$437 in small dollars from the bank today got me...wait for it...one NIFC:

Thanks for sharing the article. I started reading some of their related articles and found one that suggested that the mint was also producing halves for the Fed back in 2018. I would have to agree with that due to all of the 2018-D halves I find.
