Ducats - A Community Incentive

Ray Ducat with his iconic Mr D's Cola. Hope we can buy this with Ducats.
There are growing numbers of Shepparton people excited to get their hands on the new Ducats. You may ask why? And that is a very good question. Ask around, and see what people would think regarding using a home-grown "money" to pay for goods and services.
For me it is quite simple: Using Ducats gives me a great incentive, "I want to give priority to — and I’m willing to make an effort for — my region or community. The money I spend will stay in Shepparton and be re-used many times to benefit local businesses."
I'm looking forward to seeing how many people are keen to support our local businesses by grabbing a few Ducats and vice-versa, how many businesses want to support the needs of local people by selling them goods/or services in return for Ducats.

Local shops need our support as the 'little guy' battles against the might of the large chains and online stores. Great article by Di Thomas who is the new editor of the Shepparton News.

Ducats = Our City, Our Money. Coming soon.
