Pricing Round-Up

I've just returned from Liquid Learning's Strategic Pricing 2006 Conference & Workshop in Sydney, where it was great to see so many new faces and industries taking an active interest in pricing.

There was a very interesting story in the press that caught my eye while I was away. On Wednesday 10th May 2006, copper hit an all-time high of $US8,000 a tonne. The Guardian newspaper in the UK pointed out that if you have 146 pre-1992 two-pence coins, which contain 6.9g of copper, you've got yourself a kilo of copper.

Even better if you have 145,000 of these coins lying around, as you'd be sitting on a cool $US8,000 worth of copper...with a face value of GBP 2,900 .

Time to empty those money boxes?
