Logic would say it’s cheaper. Reality would say it depends on the alloy and size.

I don’t think the government is concerned about the cost of minting. Coins generally all cost more than the face value and notes wayyyyyy less.

The amount of currency that the government creates minus the cost is called the seigniorage amount.
