Fans discuss the bottle return deposit amounts from the episode where Kramer and Newman travel to Michigan to recycle bottles for extra money instead of doing it in New York.
I am still looking for a definite answer as to how much the bottle return numbers were on the episode where Kramer and Newman tried to recycle the bottles in Minnesota instead of New York for the extra money. I think the numbers were $0.10 and $0.15 but I would love to hear from somone who remembers for sure.
By the way, why isn't the cent key on the keyboard?

I guess they had to fit in the ^ that everyone uses so darn much.
Not to mention 3 kinds of parenthesis.
It was Michigan, not Minnesota, and the can/bottle return is 10 cents instead of 5 cents there. This is printed on many cans and bottles distributed everywhere, and is not something they made up for the show. I actually know people who had relatives in MI and would save up and crush their pop cans haul them out there whenever they went. Really quite pathetic looking back on it now. :-)
Not used that much? Not a standard ASCII character? I dunno....
NY - $0.05 MI - $0.10
Just like in real life.

Of course, but the question was, why isn't it on the keyboard?
I've got 2 'PgUp's and 2 'PgDn's that I never use. 2 'Home's and 2 'End's A dozen function keys, why do I need 2 'Ctrl's?

<snip important question>
Because then people can't show how dumb they are by printing my .02 cents
Because it costs too much.
Because the cent symbol was invented after the QWERTY keyboard and we know no one will ever update the QWERTY keyboard.
Putting the cent symbol on would be too much of a change.
Because the QWERTY keyboard doesn't make sense. (My favorite)
I'm tired...
