    It's a struck coin which was intended for circulation in the strict sense.

    More loosely, it means a non-proof coin.

    A business strike is a coin made for daily use, versus one made for collectors.

    A business strike is any coin that receives the MS designation if it has no wear--as said before, basically, it's not a proof coin.

    Interesting trivia the mint refers to their products as Proofs for proof coins, Uncirculated for coins struck for mint sets, and coins intended for commerce are called "circulated". You would think they would call them circulation coins but no they call them circulated.
