Our statistics revealed that we have an estimated share of banknote of $ per capita, by value – this is fairly high but expected in a cash based economy like Solomon Islands. So, I think we are not seeing yet the demise of cash in Solomon Islands. Perhaps not in the next decade or two.
Obviously, the key observation from the numbers is that we all use cash in our daily transactions. That being the case, we need to know a little bit more about our notes and coins, how to handle them and the important roles that we all perform in the cash cycle in our various capacities.
