The minting of coins by any mint anywhere in the world is and always has been done for two reasons. 1 - to facilitate commerce. And 2 - so the govt. could make a profit by doing so. It&#039;s called seigniorage, and seigniorage is where the mint makes the vast majority of their profits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
