The Mint's profit for 2013 after taxes was about $36 million. A significant portion of that has traditionally come from the domestic circulation coin business. Traditionally, this has been the Mint's largest source of profit. However, with the growth of its numismatic business, that was already projected to change. It was expected that the numismatic business was going to overtake domestic circulation as a source of profit. Our sense is that this is not going to be a huge problem for the Mint.
