Granted it's from 2001, but I visited the mint in Denver earlier this year and they still claim the same thing.
- dangrover 17y agoI'd hope they're profitable, given that they're literally printing money.
- christonog 17y agoHate to be nitpicky, but the U.S. Mint does not print anything. They mint coins. They fund operations with licensing the Minting machines to other nations and collectible coins. They also at one point minted other nations'coins.
