Why are 1964 nickels so popular?

Of all things, 1964 nickels are known for their high mintage. More of these coins were produced because, in 1964, the U.S. faced a shortage of coins. To solve the problem, the U.S. Mint implemented a coin mintage date freeze.

Why did the 1964 nickel have a mint mark?

The coin shortage of the 1960s (due to hoarding) meant the mint stopped putting mint marks on coins to discourage silver stacking. So the 1964 nickel was the last 5-cent coin to bear mint marks until 1968. 1964 Nickels came from the Philadelphia and Denver mints, so you won’t find any with the S mint mark.
