Official re-launch of PLENTY
By Bill Willcox
Pittsboro is in the land of PLENTY…again. The town’s local PLENTY currency was re-launched Tuesday, May 12 with secure backing from Capital Bank. New denominations are now available during business hours at the Pittsboro branch, at 37 Hillsboro Street.
The exchange rate is $.90 for one PLENTY, providing consumers a 10 percent discount on purchases from local businesses.
The public may also exchange “old” PLENTYs for the newly denominated PLENTYs at Capital Bank in Pittsboro. The new denominations correspond directly with US dollars ($1, $5, $10, etc.) and are taxed the same as dollars.
