Gane Simbe: The role coins play in the Solomon Islands’ payment system Speech by Mr Gane Simbe, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Solomon Islands, at the launching of the Solomon Islands new coins, Honiara, 4 July 2012. *  *  *  [I have a message for you in my speech this afternoon.
And the message is this: “Coins are important for proper pricing of your goods and services and therefore you must actively use the coins in your daily transactions and not to store coins away in wooden boxes! Using coins as medium of exchange will bring much benefit to you and help our economy grow”.]
