Re: The joys of family tech support
I would think that "running mint" comes from the pristine status of a freshly minted of a coin.
Perhaps that is the origin.. .. But in my time in NZ it often was used to refer to a vehicle running very well, even up until a few years back.
Cars and other things would also be referred to as being "in mint condition", IE "like new".
