Trivia
Prior to the start of production, filmmakers met with the U.S. Treasury Department over the legality of depicting real money in counterfeiting scenes; once government approval was obtained, they arranged to borrow $313,000 in $100 bills from the Bank of America, for a daily interest fee and $5,000 in insurance. The money was allowed to be shown in the film but not in the trailers advertising it. The borrowed cash was delivered to the set daily by a Brinks armored truck, and guarded by four security guards.

Goofs
The title refers to the US Mint; however the mint only manufactures coins. Bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which is a completely separate agency.

Gem of a comedy, sadly overlooked

A staple of the 4:30 Movie I haven't seen this film for many years until I came across a long out of print Columbia Video copy in my local video store. And what a find! Here is a sweet fast paced comedy that really works. US Mint worker Jim Hutton accidently destroys a fortune and must replace it in a short time or else! With the help of some friends Hutton must break into the Mint and print the missing millions. This film owes a lot to ITS A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD but has enough clever plot twists and antics to call its own. Definetly worth a look at and hopefully Columbia will rerelease it on VHS or even put it on DVD.
