The intended solution is obviously numerals. Would they really charge those amounts for time on a copying machine? Would they, in this puzzle, charge those amounts for time on a copying machine? The answer to the first question is perhaps, and the answer to the second is no.
Still, it's always nice to hear the creative solutions people come up with. And if they start ranting for dozens of posts about their solution, I suppose I don't really have to read them. No, I'm not referring to you in particular.
