<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2614323, member: 80121&quot;]The U.S. Mint is the only branch of Government that returns money to the Treasury each year. I don&#039;t remember the exact amount, but it was 7 figures. That&#039;s a good thing and a bad thing. It&#039;s good they are returning money to the government, but to do that it indicates they are charging more for their products than they need to make expenses and a modest profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mercury gold dime was mentioned, they sold it for $200 with less than $120 of gold in it. That extra $80+ dollars more than covered the Mint&#039;s expenses, there was no organization to get a cut of the sales, so who benefits? The U.S. Treasury, not the collectors that paid approximately 70% over melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
