<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2458530, member: 15588"]I was at the Denver mint today and the guide said that cents cost 1.4 cents each to make and the nickel almost double the face value. The nickels are the real cost drains. But, he added, the mint more than makes up for these losses with all of the other denominations. Quarters cost about 7 cents each and they make an absolute killer profit on those. I believe he said that the mint made about $500 million profit last year overall, and added that they were not concerned about the higher cost of producing the cent or the nickel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
