I believe that it is based on the supply and demand of the currency at the time, this way you can control inflation and regulate the supply of money and the new issuance of it and credit, tho, what has happened is that there is no regulation so, were just printing away, as the dollar is becoming worth less and less.....

Does the president's cabinet coin money?
Yes. The U.S. Mint coins money and the U.S. Mint has, since its creation in the 1790s, been under the control of the Secretary of the Treasury, which is a cabinet member. and No. Congress coins money under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5. It only delegates the physical job to the US Mint in much the same way that Congress uses the executive branch to enforce laws. When Congress authorizes issuance of new currency, it does not have printing presses in the basement of the Capitol Building to create new dollar bills. The physical job is done by the US Mint; but the Mint cannot coin any money at all unless Congress authorizes it. Saying the "president's cabinet" coins money is inaccurate even though true in a way. The "Cabinet" is the group of secretaries that head the various departments of the executive branch. That group does not coin money, even though the US Mint is within the Secretary of the Treasury's department, which is in the Cabinet. Both s can be seen as right and wrong depending on how one interprets the question.

What official types of money did people use in the US immediately after the revolutionary war?
Everything. Literally. Everything. The financial state of the US was a complete train wreck. Different states printed their own money. The exchange rates were different depending on the state you were in. The new nation tried unsuccessfully to print a national currency, but it didn't work. They were in debt, terrible, terrible debt, and tried to print more money. It didn't work either. The US did not start using the dollar until the early 1790s when Alexander Hamilton became Secretary of the Treasury, and successfully sorted out the entire US financial problem. But for the seven years after the Treaty of Paris the US' finance was in a terrible state indeed.
How much does it cost the US Mint to make a 5 dollar bill?
It doesn't cost the Mint anything because the Mint makes coins, not bills. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints bills. Anyway, the new purple and gray bills cost about 4 cents each to produce.
What problems could arise by each state printing it's own money?
Hi there, I believe the problems that could arise are the same for each nation printing its own money. If you print money, while your productivity, or goods produced stay the same, you get inflation. Each dollar is then worth less. This is the reason why 50 years ago a dollar could buy much more. The world governments basically have been printing money in order to finance their own budgets. I assume you are saying each state gets to print it's own amount of US currency? Or each state having it's own set of notes. The second way you'll have huge problems with exchange rates, 50 different exchange rates, depending on the productivity of each state just within the US! In the first way, then some rogue banker or senator would then have the right to print as much money they wanted which could cause inflation to get out of control. Hope this helps :) Dan
