Hi, this particular one should always be 0 in this situation, otherwise we have a massive problem with Cardano since it means that ADA are actually being created!

The reason why it's there is simply because it is re-using a more generic structure for representing values. coins actually refer to ADA (or more exactly, Lovelace, so 10^6 ADA); In the case of the mint field, it is still a value but it is in practice impossible to find any ADA here, fortunately.
