Plot summary
Harry Lucas works at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C., where his supervisor, Samson Link, cannot understand how he lives beyond his means. His co-worker Verna Baxter tries to woo him with home-made fudge, but he avoids her because he is not ready for anything serious. Harry drops $50,000 in new currency into the bag that carries Verna's fudge and walks out of the mint with it, then empties everything into his garbage disposal. Fearing Link and an audit, he turns to Pop Gillis, a mint worker forced to retire before he could run the presses. Pop agrees to help him print replacements after hours, and Harry offers partnerships to a safecracker, a pawnbroker, a public works employee who knows a sewer route into the mint, a boat captain, and an ice cream truck driver.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Who's Minding the Mint? (1967)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- More than $3,000,000 in real United States currency was used during the making of the film, and armed guards carefully watched over the money.
- The currency shown being printed on screen was half again larger than real United States currency and carried obvious printing errors, so it could never have been passed as genuine.
