<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1297261, member: 26302"]Guy, you are probably correct if thinking only direct line people. However, their total overhead will include some for engravers, director, HR personnel, accountants, etc ad nauseum. The average Federal worker gets around $80k per year, and in the mint with actual experience needed it may be more. Like many have said governments aren't terribly efficient, and by the time you add all of these other personnel up, I am afraid you may be looking at closer to over a cent per coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be interesting if the mint releases further cost breakdowns where all of the expenses are. I am sure some of it was even involved in the whole shipping dollar coin scam.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
