I recently read an article about the mint - they have had to cut coin production by 75% because all the coins that had been accumulating in people's jars are now being cashed in. The article went on to say that they are using the time and staff to tune all the different production lines; they do not want to lay anyone off because the skill sets used in the mint are extremely rare and they would have a difficult time getting staffed up when the time came to ramp up production.
