Only found two, both P. They had very low mints for 2009 dimes and nickels that year due to the recession. One of the strange effects of the economic downturn was that hard times required people to turn in coins for spending money. This caused an unprecedented surplus in coins, and demand was mostly satisfied. However, the new quarters and pennies had to be produced in appreciable, if not needed, numbers. I heard at one point the fed had a three year supply of quarters available. I have about half a roll of the 2009 dimes P&D, but I would love to find that D mint nickel

I keep them, I have found 4 2009Ds and 1 2009 P (In that time I have found 35 war nickels and 9 buffalos). I plan to fill a tube with 2009s and then stop, if I ever find that many!

I keep them if they are in decent condition (about half). I'm up to about 3 1/2 rolls of 2009-P and about a dozen 2009-D. Even circulated rolls are going for decent money on eBay, so they're worth keeping for that at least. I'm of the opinion that they are not really scarce, just poorly distributed geographically.
