A $1 Bill Costs 5 Cents To Make

How much money do you think it costs to make a dollar? That’s not a tricky question. Some probably think that the government prints money and it doesn’t cost a single cent. Actually, it costs a whopping five cents to make a dollar. Yes, every dollar bill in your pocket cost Uncle Sam five cents to make. Don’t you wish you knew a way to invest a nickel and make 95 cents? It almost sounds too good to be true, but it happens every day at mints all over America. Money doesn’t grow on trees, but if it did, perhaps the dollar bill would be much cheaper to produce.
