Mints at Fort Knox and D.C.? Is that so? AFAIK there are only 4 these days (Philly, Denver, SF and West Point)
Must be approved by the President and Congress? Not always...

Interesting...
The potential production of the mints is 28B coins/year? I guess that seems about right, without doing an official count.

Very nice! It reminds me of the '70s cartoons when I was little (Conjunction, junction, what's your function?).  |

Yeah I really liked those Schoolhouse Rock cartoons back then. Some of them were quite good and I still remember them to this day.

People say that making the cent lose money, but this as an educational aid, which I hope this is the new video fromt he Mint for teaching kids about coins, is a bigger waste since they already have tons of older videos that show how coins are made. How much did this cost taxpayers?

I still have the complete set of DVD's. (I am a senior in high school now if you need to be able to date my school experience) |
