Seigniorage is the profit made by a government or economy by producing currency for less than its exchange value. Essentially, seigniorage is the difference between the cost of producing money, such as a $10 bill or quarter coin, and its face value. When the seigniorage is positive, the government can expect to make a profit. However, if the seigniorage is negative, it will result in a loss for the government.
