Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks. But I am not asking about value, I'm asking about cost.

Still, you are actually adding in to what I'm trying to explain. The cost to make one penny is worth more than the penny itself. So the U.S. Government is eating the extra cost of the penny.

Why would a think a company out for profit in a free market would eat the cost of anything?

Show me where:

The cost of A plus the cost of B equals AB. Cost AB equals less than cost of A or cost of B.

A + B = AB
AB = <A
AB = <B

There may be a situation where the above is true, I just can't think of one. We are getting away from my issue with the discussions, which is Hesse never said what others are saying he said. They are either misunderstanding it, misquoting it, or taking it out of context to back what they feel and want.
