A struggling American economy kept demand for the American Eagle Silver Coins high in the early 2000s, even after the fears over Y2K subsided. The demand in 2001 was down slightly from 9.2 million coins sold in 2000 to a total of 9.001 million, but the 2000s would eventually go down as a decade of much higher demand compared to the 1990s that preceded.
