[another nut to crack]

many/most coupons you clip from your paper for soap, soup, or crackers
contain a cryptic statement to such a cash-value.  I've tried to get the
poop on it from some stores and the consumer column of our local paper
without any luck.  Does anyone know?

A first guess might be, that there is some obscure law which makes it
mandatory that a coupon have some kind of cash value.  another guess
might be that there is some kind of law which allows companies to count
such coupons only as income-reducing expenses if such a statement is
included.  But I sure never heard of either.  I know this group won't
fail me,
