Puzzles
Multi-solution puzzles that allow pieces to connect to make different picture solutions are advertised in the back pages of the Smithsonian magazine.
Is there a formula for creating designs for multiple pictures/solutions from one set of pieces?

Vitamin B12, Coenzyme Q10
Hefty pricing.
http://www.naturalnews.com/SpecialReports/BioidenticalVitamins.pdf briefly describes differences in vitamin B12 that is commonly used in supplements.
... a form that is known as hydroxycobalamin, which your body can much more readily use and it doesn’t leave poison in your body.
Mike: What’s the cost difference on this? Is it a factor of ten or what?
Greg: Well, vitamin B12 is an expensive product no matter what just because of the process in which it’s fermented. You could spend as much as $6,000 more per kilo to get the better vitamin B12.
...
Coenzyme Q10, you know, is a very expensive vitamin. It can be priced as much as $5000 a kilogram. Typically, when you’re buying vitamins you paying $6.00 a kilo. Right now I think coenzyme Q10 is probably in the neighborhood of between $1000 and $1300 per kilogram.

Custom Medallions
Create custom medallions for groups that give away coins/medallions as recognition. For example, AA and some other recovery groups distribute the coins.
If using precious metal, example prices:
design stamp: $500 one-time fee
1 ounce silver: 14
mint fee: 1.5
1000 coins:
$500 + 15.5 * 1000 = $16000 for 1000 coins. $16/per coin.
