Default Are 2008-2009 nickels scarce?

If you find a circulation strike 2009-D nickel, you will make the front page
of Coin World. Same for the 2009-D dime. The tens of millions of them that
were minted are apparently languishing in a vault somewhere due to lack of
orders from banks. There are plenty of 2008 and 2009 nickels available, but
they are from mint sets, which have a different finish.
