I did not know that lil' ditty/of knowledgeThe U.S. Mint generates revenue by selling coins to the Federal Reserve Banks, selling numismatic products to the public, and selling bullion coins to authorized purchasers. These sales cover the costs of coin production, making the Mint a self-sustaining entity.
The Mint does not receive funding from taxpayer dollars; it is self-sustaining, meaning it relies on its own sales to cover expenses.

That explains a lot...
