Grinding Grain For Money

 This mills and millers 32 pence self adhesive Isle of Man from 2009 has a slightly higher value then the one exactly like it in the lick em stick variety issued at the same time. I'm not quite sure why now, but perhaps it is because of the number produced.   The one pound note stamp of 30 pence which is also a self adhesive is valued in the Stampworld catalogue the same as it's lick em variety.  Personally of the two, I find the banknote stamp the more attractive of the two because I love the look of banknotes, be they modern or old, though I enjoy old photos.   Milling is money, making flour or meal from grain, and I think these two tie well together in at least that context.
