I pay my kids 10¢ for each dandelion they bring me from my yard — as long as it hasn't gone to seed yet. If it's gone to seed they get fined (15¢). Of course they've figured out that it's best to quietly destroy the ones that have gone to seed so that I don't find them.
Thankfully, they don't yet appear to be cultivating dandelions, though I'm sure they'll figure out the financial benefit of that someday. :-)

Hmm .. I could turn this into a business!
I suspect there are a FEW seeds on each dandelion that goes to seed, and if each of those are planted and become a new dandelion, itself producing a FEW MORE seeds .. hmmm.
