The dollar bill doesn't make up any fraction of the money made by the Mint because the Mint doesn't print bills, it strikes coins. Bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

In fact, about 45 PERCENT of all bills in the US are dollars. $1 bills typically wear out in about 18 months and so many are needed that the BEP actually had to build a second printing plant to keep up with demand. That's the reason that many people want to stop printing the $1 bill and use a combination of $1 coins and $2 bills instead. The problem is that the company that makes all the paper for $1 bills has very powerful lobbyists and they've been able to convince Congress to turn down any and all proposals to eliminate the greenback.
