    By law they are supposed to be struck in quantities similar to the Presidential dollars.

    They will only be available direct from the mint at a premium. The mint projects about 5 million coins per prexibux design, so the Native American dollars will be on par with that.

    ...Although authorizing legislation required that 20 percent of all dollar coins struck and released for circulation be Native American dollars, the actual number of 2012 Native American dollars struck so far is nearly equal to the number of Chester A. Arthur dollars struck, and three other Presidential dollars are scheduled to be struck in 2012. U.S. Mint officials report that 5.6 million circulation-quality 2012 Native American dollars have been struck for numismatic products, with the production of the coins evenly divided between the Denver and Philadelphia Mints.
