<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2855292, member: 88736&quot;]Coin &amp; Work... </p><p><br /></p><p>Two decades ago, when we were doing some import&amp;export works about some industrial items, there was an American, from TN, who was frequently saying this, &quot;the money doesn&#039;t grow on the tree&quot;... </p><p><br /></p><p>Where does the coin grow? </p><p><br /></p><p>Its story starts with the &#039;things&#039; in/on/under the ground, under our feet. Those &#039;things&#039; are worthless things, dust-like materials, when they are raw materials in/on/under the ground. They are raw materials, cupper/etc dusts mixed with sand dusts etc. &quot;Work&quot; is added, they are removed, sieved, washed, cleaned, etc. Then, &quot;work&quot; is added, they are transported to the metal furnaces. Then, there, &quot;work&quot; is added, they are melted, poured into the moulds/ingots/bullions/etc. Then, &quot;work&quot; is added, they are drawn into the sheet metals. Then, &quot;work&quot; is added, it goes into the mint, and there, &quot;work&quot; is added, those sheet metals are cut/punched/etc into the pieces. Also there, &quot;work&quot; is added, design/art/etc are made. Then, &quot;work is added&quot;, the cut/punched sheet metal forged into the final form of a coin. Then, &quot;work&quot; is added, the coin is loaded on a truck and delivered to a distributor. Then, &quot;work&quot; is added, it is delivered to local store. Then, &quot;work&quot; is added, the coin goes into the pocket as the final station... This is for a penny coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in this big loop process, what did I put in my pocket? </p><p>Did I put some dusts in/on/under the ground I walk on into my pocket? </p><p>Did I put, say, mr Lincoln into my pocket? </p><p>Did I put some symbols/figures/etc into my pocket? </p><p>Did I put a round shaped metal? </p><p>Etc.? </p><p>No. </p><p>I put the &quot;work&quot; into my pocket... The work, the effort, the labor, is in every stage of the coin, directly or indirectly... </p><p><br /></p><p>Then, one may ask: What is the thing that is still &quot;incomplete&quot; after all these works/efforts? </p><p><br /></p><p>Lets take &quot;P&quot; coin, that&#039;s, 2017 Penny with &quot;P&quot; mint mark, minted in &#039;P&#039;hiladelphia, as an example. (Actually, it doesn&#039;t matter whether it is &quot;P&quot; coin or &quot;D&quot; coin or &quot;W&quot; coin or whatever coin as there is the same thing, &quot;work&quot;, in all other mints as well. However, I&#039;ll read &quot;P&quot; here as a small &quot;Punch&quot;, that reminds everybody of that there is &quot;work/effort&quot; in the coin.) But, if there is no &quot;P&quot; coin in his pocket of an employee working at the Philadelphia mint, then, it is &quot;Punching&quot; himself too as the &quot;work&quot; is still &quot;incomplete&quot;, therefore, he too is too lazy, in completing the coin work... (however, it is not only his fault of mint employee, fault of everybody from the top to the bottom hierarchy, of everybody working in the coin process directly or indirectly by trying to gain the money also.) </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, this too should be said here. In some places in the World, there is deficiency of penny coins, they are not minted for decades. And, in some places such as US, Germany, etc, there are excessive penny coins, they are flooding. However, there is no difference in &quot;completeness&quot;. In the both cases, &quot;work&quot; is still &quot;incomplete&quot;... People do not have penny coin in their pockets... This is due to the wrong view of people about the penny coin, due to the wrong generalization. Penny coin does not resemble to all other coins/notes such as the nickel (5cent), the dime (10cent), $1, $20 , etc. Penny coin should not (have) be(en) circulated, should be kept in the pocket only. Penny coin is not a pocket change, it is constant, should be kept in the pocket constantly. That&#039;s it. This too is a work and when this is done the work is complete...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
