A quick definition of seigniorage:

Seigniorage: Seigniorage is a fancy word that means different things depending on the context. In history, it referred to the relationship between a lord and their vassal. However, in modern times, it usually refers to the profit that a government makes from creating and distributing money. This profit comes from the difference between the cost of producing the money and the value of the money itself. Essentially, seigniorage is the money that a government makes from creating money.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Seigniorage is a term used to describe the profit that a government makes by creating and issuing currency. It is the difference between the cost of producing the currency and the face value of the currency.

For example, if it costs a government 5 cents to produce a coin that has a face value of 25 cents, then the seigniorage would be 20 cents. This profit can be used to fund government programs or reduce the national debt.

Seigniorage can also refer to the charge for coining bullion into money, which was a prerogative of the Crown in the past. It can also be used to describe a royalty or a profit.

Overall, seigniorage is an important source of revenue for governments and can help to fund important programs and initiatives.
