<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 755156, member: 4552&quot;]Age old story of how much does it cost to produce our monitary system. In reality it is far worse than people usually hear. What is usually mentioned is the cost of the materials used to make the stuff. Never is it mentioned or tabulated as to all the other expenditures required in the manufacture of our monitary system. </p><p>For example if you decided to produced pencils. You would need wood, graphite, eraser materials, etc. Then there is the glues, coloring materials and much more. These are the types of items the Mint tells you they require to make our money. Of course they always omit the building, A/C and heat for that building, plumbing, electrical, phones, presses, dies, gas. And then too there is the cost of having materials brought in, shipped out, storage, materials for packing and lots more. You want to make pencils so you also have to hire people to make them, pay them salaries, pay for insurances and other benifits. </p><p>THINK. If you wanted to have any buisness, you would have to pay for all that. If the government added in all those expenses, a Cent would probably cost a hundred dollars. But then they have those things called taxes you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
