Permission to reprint the following chart was provided by Herb Klug of Herb's Coin-ucopia.

NOTES:
1. The scale of the chart is limited to 15,000,000 coins to allow only the lowest quantity issues to be displayed. Data is not shown when the yearly production from any mint exceeded the limit of the chart. (For example, the yearly 'nickel' production in Philadelphia exceeded 20,000,000 in every year the coins were minted there except one: 1921.) Since the purpose of this chart is to show relative rarity, mintages above 15,000,000 would seem to be immaterial.
2. No nickels were minted in '22, '32, and '33.
