The Mint is an Australian phone-in quiz show based on the British program of the same name, and broadcast on the Nine Network in selected areas in the late night time slot (post-midnight).
The show was filmed live at Nine's GTV Richmond studios in Melbourne. It replaced Quizmania and was produced entirely by the Nine Network, unlike Quizmania which was produced by FremantleMedia Australia. Like Quizmania, the program received its revenue from phone charges rather than advertisements.
Only contestants aged 18 or over were allowed to participate. Each entry cost a flat 55c charge to a premium-rate 1902 number when calling from a landline.
On 18 March 2008, it was announced that The Mint would be axed. The final episode aired on 29 March 2008.[1]
