The US Mint doesn't print money, the BEP (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) does. Also, if the fact were correctly worded, it would still not be true; the BEP prints about $400,000,000,000 (Four hundred billion dollars) per year.

Are half of the facts even actually true ? Reading the comments does not help to think so….

It's myth. I can assure you. And we do not stone people for committing adultery.
