Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

dmesg | grep fglrx

Will give you a ton of information including the date of the driver, e.g:

Code:
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.86.5 [May 24 2011]

There should be somewhere a list of dates when various catalyst versions were released.

(edit) http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx

Looks like 10.11 or 10.12 by the date.
