A 10 cent represents 10% of the one dollar, 20 cents 20% of one dollar, and a 50 cent represents 50% of one dollar. In other words prices can fall as proportion of one dollar and we required coins to set the level of prices and receive correct change when we buy goods and services. My message to all of you therefore is simple.
Our new coins are meant to serve the Solomon Island economy for the next 30 years. To ensure that these coins play their role in the smooth operation of our pricing and payment system you must circulate the coins. The new coins have added benefits that you the people have told us to incorporate in the new coins.
