How much profit does the US Mint make on coinage?
I am no accountant and trying to provide a simple answer is difficult since the US mint turns over specific non operating funds to the Treasury Department. You can take a look at the 2006 Annual Report from the US Mint. Here is the link http://www.usmint.gov/downloads/about/annual_report/2006AnnualReport.pdf From our quick reading, it looks like the Mint return about $625 Million dollars to the General fund in 2006. Not sure if you could call that Profit or not. Where is a good accountant when you need them?
