(chiefly, British, Irish, slang) wealthy.
- minted64%
Primarily used in British and Irish slang to mean loaded — seriously, eye-wateringly wealthy. If someone's minted, they've got more money than they know what to do with. The word conjures images of freshly printed cash, brand new coins straight from the mint, which is exactly where the slang meaning comes from. It's used admiringly, enviously, or sometimes sarcastically depending on context. You might also hear it used more broadly to mean anything that's in great, pristine condition.
