This is a 1000-gram iron bar. Its basic value is around €100.
If you use it to make horseshoes, it could be worth €250.
If you use it to make sewing needles, it could be worth about €70,000.
If you make watch springs and gears, it could be worth about €6 million.
But if you make precision laser parts like the ones used in lithography, it could be worth €15 million.
Your value isn’t just in what you’re made of – it’s mostly in how well you use what you have.
