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, (-: Werner
