About:
1 every 12 seconds.
5 every minute
50 every 10 minutes
300 every hour
7200 every day
50400 every week
2629728 every year (averaging for leap years)

Or:
Exactly 7588400 so far, in 1028 days of Bitcoin existence, averaging 7383 per day.

There aren't 5 made a minute. Thats if you look at the averages.  50 are made about every 10 minutes.
Better have my fun with these before Thymos outlaws them entirely.  Tongue

I think someone asking a simple question like this should be given the most accurate answer.

What is obvious to you is obvious to you.  Plenty of people seem to think that mining in a PPS pool actually mines that share. They are wrong, but not being explicit in answers like this is what helps to spread confusion.

That would be a pretty simple calculation from the difficulty data.... check the wiki.

7200, give or take a bit.  The difficulty readjusts every two weeks or so to bring it back to 7200 whenever it starts going too fast or too slow.

And is there a chart that shows the rate that they are being mined at?
