2007-2010 Amero Mintage Figures.

Minting of all 2007-2009 Amero coins has been permanently discontinued. New 2010 Ameros with a Native American & Puma design are now available (see below). A Puma (Mountain Lion) was chosen as the main 2010 design because it is a symbol of North America. Except for limited numbers of a smaller sub-species in South America, The North American Mountain Lion is found nowhere else in the World.

The main 2007, 2008, and 2009 designs return in the one-ounce proof-like silver form with a 2010 date. All three designs have been refined, and all 2010 Ameros feature a brand new reverse design. The 2010 copper and silver denominations have been changed to be more realistic. The large 39mm copper pieces which formerly had a denomination of 20-Ameros, now have a denomination of 1-Amero. The large 39mm silver pieces which formally had a denomination of 100-Ameros, now have a denomination of 20-Ameros. The new coins do not actually have the word "Amero" on them, but do carry a new Amero symbol (stylized "A" inside circle).

Shipping of the new 2010 coins is now underway.

All 2009-2010 Ameros are stamped by a coin press that was actually used in the U.S. Denver Mint from 1986 to 2001. Moonlight Mint, a private facility built by Amero coin minter Daniel Carr acquired this surplus Denver Mint coin press in early 2007 and completed the restoration of it in late 2008. Traditionally, all Ameros have had a symbolic "D" mint mark. But now that all Ameros will be struck on a Denver Mint coin press, the "D" takes on additional meaning. Note that the 2008 100-Amero (1/10th oz gold) coins were also struck on this Denver coin press. So anyone who ordered one of those coins can now rightfully claim that it was stamped by a (former) U.S. government coin press. Moonlight Mint's Denver Coin Press.

NOTE:
I have received numerous inquiries as to my personal stand on the North American Union (NAU) issue.

My goal with these coins is not to endorse a Union of North America or a common "Amero" currency. I fully support the United States Constitution, and I would not welcome (in any form) a diminishment of its provisions. I expect that these coins will help make more people aware of the issue and the possible ramifications. I leave it up to others to decide if they are in favor of, or against a North American Union. And I encourage citizens to voice their approval or disapproval of government plans that impact them.

A currency union, similar to the European Union "Euro" has been proposed for North America. The name of the new currency is the "Amero". The Wikipedia encyclopedia article has additional details about the "Amero". This has been the source for many conspiracy theories tied in with other proposals such as the "Canamex Corridor".

Daniel Carr minted the first Amero coins, of any kind, in late 2007. These private-issue fantasy pattern coins will be struck as an annual series (until such time as it is no longer legal to do so).
