disputed not recorded pieces
The Mint's own two publications disagree. Its website gives 29,300,000 across 2 designs struck with this date (rounded, so uncertain by 100,000); its annual reports for 2009-10 and 2010-11 and 2011-12 account for 32,840,000. The reports exceed the website by 3,540,000, which no rounding explains and which no gap in our extraction could produce. The catalogue does not choose between them.

A variety is a claim about a coin, and claims differ in how well they are evidenced. The grade beside each says what kind of source stands behind it. This catalogue prints no valuations, so nothing here tells you what a variety is worth.
| Variety | How you tell it apart | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 $1 on Venezuelan-bolivar-type planchet | Dollar design on a bimetal blank bearing Venezuelan Bolivar edge lettering | scholarly
a numismatic society, museum catalogue or archival study |

It does not tell you what the coin is worth. A catalogue can honestly report how many were struck, what metal is in one, and what the documents say. It cannot report a market price without either inventing it or copying someone who might have. So this catalogue reports the first three and stays quiet about the fourth.
