The mint can be tough when you are first learning it! By the lava do you mean the room with the roundish moving things that look like bolts over the greenish ink? Or the flat platforms over the red lava?

If it's the flat platforms over red lava, you can keep running and just jump out at the end.

With the bolt-thingies, two things helped me: 1) play with your view. It helps if you have a view where you are looking down from above rather than straight on at your toon's back. I use the one right before the "straight at your toon's back". 2) humans need a running jump but toons don't. I walk to the very edge and jump. Also keep pressing the up arrow. Toons don't have momentum from a jump either.

I also recommend not taking the "get cogs in a xyz mint". Especially not dollar. Not many people go in the dollar mint, so it is harder to find random helpers. Especially now with everyone obsessed with bossbot. A good task is "x number of cogs in cog hq".
