CENT SEIGNORAGE

  In response to last week's item about the Lincoln Cent,
  David Ganz writes: "The latest mint annual report shows
  that the Mint makes a profit of at least a tenth of a cent
  on each cent produced. Do the math: 13 billion x .001
  = $13 million profit annually.  Who wouldn't give their
  right arm for that ability?
