Question du jour: Why do coupons have a monetary value?

[NuclearNed]

If I collect all the coupons I find, can I cash them in somewhere?

You can cash them in but most of the ones I've seen have been 1/100th of a cent. I forget the reasoning, but it made a bit of sense when I heard it.

to stop u from selling it to someone else for more than the 'cash' value?

I do think it would be really funny to take a truckload of coupons to the local grocery/bank and try to cash them in.

Funny but I bet the "handling fee" they would apply for cashing them in would be more than the actual value.

Maybe. If "Jackass" were still on tv, I bet this is something they would enjoy trying.
