Dimboola Dollars sold out
The latest initiative of Dimboola Lions Club has proved to be very popular, the Dimboola Dollars now having sold out.
Dimboola Lions Club announced last week via Facebook that the currency had officially sold out.
The news came not long after the club posted that there weren't many left.
"We love that people – locals and visitors – have embraced our Dimboola Dollars," it read.
"We are hoping that you choose to support some of our small local businesses to buy something a little extra."
On Monday, March 24, the club announced on Facebook that it had sold out of the currency.
Dimboola Lions Club printed $10,000 worth of Dimboola Dollars in $10, $20, $50 and $100 denominations, allowing people to purchase the dollars for half the value.
They were limited to purchasing $250 worth of Dimboola Dollars to ensure benefits were shared around the community.
An investment of $5000 into the town was made by the Lions Club.
Each Dimboola Dollar was numbered and recorded by secretary Jan John to prevent fraud.
Dimboola Lions Club will be seeking feedback from traders and consumers who are participating in the program to learn what they would like to see done differently if the club repeats the promotion.
