For those not in the know, this is what 'peppercorn' contracts are about, where one side pays $1 (the 'peppercorn', ie: not worth much) in exchange for the other side's stuff. Usually it's done for things that are considered an overall net liability.

Amusingly, peppercorns have at some times/places been worth their weight in gold.

heh, I thought you were talking about the contracts (which is also figuratively true) at first, rather than actual peppercorns... :)
