Question
Do you know the name of the mid 70's movie (a comedy/suspenseful), which
had multiple stars, each played a roll in breaking into a mint to print money (I
am unsure why), there was a team of ~10-15 people and the events included
lowering themselves from vehicles into manholes, rowing a boat through the
sewer, breaking into a mint, rolling under laser beams, avoiding staff/guards,  
and printing a lot of cash, and them removing bags of cash back through the
sewer, etc. This was an exciting, and eventful movie, however I was young
when I watched it, and cannot remember the names of anyone who starred in
it or even the name of the movie, I'd love to see it again.

Answer
Andrea, I'm sorry it took awhile to locate an answer for you, but I believe the film you are looking for is the 1967 all-star caper comedy, "Whose Minding the Mint?"  Jim Hutton stars as a hapless employee who accidentally shreds $50,000, and wants to break into his workplace to replace it by reprinting the money.  His plans start to get complicated as the list of people who he needs to help him do the break in and print the money just keeps growing, and each one of them wants a reward.  Eventually they do break into the "mint" (actually the Bureau of Engraving) via the sewer, and from there mayhem ensues.

Like other comedies of the time period, it included a large cast--Milton Berle, Victor Buono, Dorothy Provine, Bob Denver, Joey Bishop, Jack Gilford, Jamie Farr, Walter Huston and many others.  According to the Internet Movie Data Base (imdb.com) there isn't a DVD copy. athough you can watch it on Amazon via video on demand (for 9.99): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OMSW5I?tag=imdb-avod
There also are some old VHS copies available on Amazon (from various sellers).
