At the time, the total cost to produce each cent was 0.7 cents. That means they made a profit of 0.3 cents on each and every one of them, which translates in $40 million of profit. You can check these numbers for yourself, they are included in the Mint&#039;s Annual Report. It also includes how much profit they made on the minting of every other coin they produced. And every bit of that profit is given to the US Treasury and then into the US General Fund.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
