If you are a SHOPPER: Convert your Dollars into Ducats and you get a bonus 10% to spend at a number of local businesses. What a bargain. Visit the Ducat Exchange at the Lost Shepparton Shop, 204 Corio St. Or ask for Ducats when you get change at one of these local businesses. One Ducat = One Dollar. List of shops and businesses If you are a BUSINESS/SHOP accepting Ducats: Will get more shoppers wanting to do business with you because you accept Ducats and you will be able to measure its success.

The idea behind local currencies, such as the Ducat, is to encourage trade in community businesses where they are accepted, and recirculation of the money helps create a sustainable local economy.
