For any base b the number of distinct-digit numbers is finite. For base 10, the maximal distinct-digit number is 9876543210; for any larger number at least two digits coincide. The number of distinct-digit primes is also finite, see A073532.
If "positive" is replaced by "nonnegative" we get the sequence 10, 81, 648, 4536, 27216, 136080, 544320, 1632960, 3265920, 3265920.
Alternatively, if 0 is considered to have 0 digits, one could prefix a(0) = 1. This would be compatible with the given formula and 9/10 rounded to the nearest integer. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 10 2018
a(10) is the final term because no number having more than 10 digits can have all digits distinct. - Jon E. Schoenfield, May 17 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = 9*9!/(10-n)!.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 648 because there are 648 three-digit integers with distinct digits.
