Uncle Sam Makes Money In Big Way
The government has been making money beyond its power to issue currency and regulate value. Seigniorage from currency issued under the purchasing act and mint costs boosted profits on money issuing in the past year and a half by over 1 billion dollars, treasury figures show. About 150 million came from the difference between silver certificate metal cost and its 1.29 value, and the Treasury counted nearly 10 million in other seigniorage after June 1954.
