Jobs at US Mint

Dollar2007

How do people get coining jobs at the US Mint. I never see openings for these on their website, are these types of jobs not advertised online. I know its probably very hard and labor intensive work after seeing the show about the mint on the travel channel earlier today. Any idea how much they pay as well?

holeinone1972 I'd like to apply for the Error coin specialist position as an unpaid volunteer. Of course as a non-employee, I'd insist on leaving the job each day via the back entrance. Wouldn't want to upset the Union guys after all.
