Editing Mint

  |text2 = When you gain this, trash all non-Duration Treasures you have in play.

'''Mint''' is an [[Action]] card from [[Prosperity]]. When played, it lets you gain a copy of a [[Treasure]] card that you have in your hand; when gained, it forces you to [[trash]] all non-[[Duration]] Treasures that were in play when you gained it. Gaining a Mint can therefore be effective for clearing out early {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}.  

* When you gain this, you trash all of your non-Duration Treasure cards from play (but not ones in your hand or elsewhere). (Duration cards are in other expansions, such as {{Set|Seaside}}).

* This doesn't cause you to lose the {{Cost}} you made from those cards this turn.

* Remember that you don't have to play all of the Treasures from your hand each turn, just the ones you want to play, and you can't play more Treasures after buying cards.

* If you gain this in your Action phase, such as with {{Card|Artisan}}, you will usually not have any Treasures in play to trash.

* When you play this, you may reveal a Treasure from your hand to gain a copy of it from the Supply, putting the gained card into your discard pile.  

* The revealed card stays in your hand and can still be played that turn.  

* If you gain a Mint with {{Card|Tiara}} in play, you can put the Mint on your deck, regardless of whether you trash the {{Card|Tiara}} before or afterwards.

* If you have {{Project|Capitalism}}, Mint can both gain and trash Action-Treasures.

* If you played some {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, but trashed them all with Mint, that means you're allowed to buy a {{Card|Grand Market}}.

* If you first gain {{Card|Mandarin}} and top-deck all your Treasures, gaining Mint won't trash any Treasures.

* Mint can only gain copies from the Supply, so it can't gain copies of {{Card|Spoils}}, [[Heirloom]]s, or Treasures from the {{Card|Black Market}} deck.

<li> If you buy multiple cards in a turn, trash your Treasures right when you buy Mint; you still have any leftover {{Cost}} they produced for spending on something else.

<li> Remember you do not have to play all of the Treasures from your hand each turn (just all the ones you want producing money for you), and you cannot play more Treasures after buying a card.

<li> If you buy a Mint and use {{Card|Watchtower}} to put it on top of your deck or trash it, you still trash all of your Treasures from play.

<li> However if you buy a Mint with {{Card|Royal Seal}} in play, the Royal Seal will be gone before you can use it to put Mint on your deck.

<li> You can have as many Treasure cards as you want in play, so you can put {{Card|Potion|Potions}} in play, for example, to trash them even though they didn't go into the purchase of Mint.

<li> If you buy Mint with at least {{Cost|11}} and 2 Buys, you are able to purchase the Mint, trash your Treasures in play, and then buy a {{Card|Grand Market}}, even if some of those Treasures were {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, as they are not in play anymore.  

<li> If you buy {{Card|Mandarin}} first and top-deck all your Treasures, buying Mint will not result in any Treasures being trashed as there are none in play any longer.

<li> Since gained cards must come from the Supply, Mint cannot be used to gain copies of {{Card|Spoils}}, [[Heirloom]]s, or Treasures that were bought from the {{Card|Black Market}} deck.

Mint is a [[terminal]] [[Treasure]] [[gainer]] with a relatively important on-gain [[thinning]] effect. If the [[Kingdom]] offers more convenient ways to trash your {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, Mint is likely to be skippable; however, it can be a serviceable way to achieve thinning, especially if strong Treasures are present so that you have further use for the Mint after buying it.

Mint's trashing effect provides a way to get rid of your starting {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} and is most likely to be relevant for this purpose if there are no good alternatives, such as {{Card|Counterfeit}}. Because Mint trashes all of your Treasures in play when gained, it is at its best thinning when you can get as many {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} into play as possible, although you will have to weigh this against trying to thin as early as possible. In the simplest case, you can use five {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} to buy Mint and trash them all; a Mint trash is also sometimes worthwhile even if you can only get four {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} into play (supplementing the {{Cost}} using another source such as a [[Peddler variant]] or a {{Card|Silver}}), but only rarely with less than that. This is due both to the [[opportunity cost]] of not buying another {{Cost|5}} card and the fact that Mint itself is a [[stop card]]—if you add it to your deck while only trashing three {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, you’ve only effectively thinned two cards. Occasionally, you can trash more than five {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, which sometimes makes it worthwhile to delay Mint until you can [[draw]] a big hand. Ways to spike a larger hand size before achieving deck control, such as {{Event|Expedition}}, can help enable this sooner.
