[edit] Coupon Values

So what is the deal with the "This is worth 1/100th of a cent" on most coupons? Enquiring minds want to know!

in the Uk its because coupons must have a cash value by law (which you can in theory redeem), as they are a form of payment. This cash value is made so small because the company does not want it to have a cash value at all, and therefore makes it negligible.

[edit] SPAM

Currently all the external links appear pretty much spam-like. Any one have any feeling on their inclusion/deletion?

I am removing all the external links because they are all aomercial links, if anyone has any good links feel free to add them. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 08:43, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm again removing commercial links. --mtz206 (talk) 15:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origins vs History

These sections seem to contradict each other about when coupons were first used. TRCunning24.124.29.130 08:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

The first consumer coupons issued were for Coke, but the first real grocery coupon was a year later from Post for .01c off Grapenuts Cereal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.36.144 (talk) 06:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
