The "Mint" doesn't make paper money, the Federal Reserve does. None of the
paper currency produced by the Fed affects the federal budget in any way
whatsoever. The Fed is a separate organization from the government. It is a
government corporation, similar in structure to the Boy Scouts or the Red
Cross.

Look for information about the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, a division of the Department of the Treasury.
