Salt Spring Currency News

Celebration and Unveiling of $$10's and $$20's

I know many of you will be thinking you just received an update on Salt Spring Currency, but there have been so many developments in the last 2 weeks that we thought a further update was in order.

We are now able to confirm Friday, March 8th as the date for the official release date for the new currency and we will be having a celebration (party) on that evening at Artspring at 8:00 P.M., (Admission by Donation). The program will be festive, with music, comedy, and exciting information on the future of the Foundation.

Highlights will include:

An announcement of the artwork for the $$50 and $$100 bills.

Robert Bateman will be present to unveil which one of his paintings will be on the back of the $$100 and to discuss the reasons this painting was chosen..

Andrew McTaggart from Adlertech International. He will be flying in from Toronto to explain the sophisticated security features of the new $$10 and $$20. Our currency will have the highest security of any currency in the world. (Adlertech has an older version of their technology in the Euro which has just recently gone into circulation.)

Entertainment by local performers ( To Be Announced by February 24th)

An accounting of the Foundations success since its inception, current status, and plans for the future.

Explanations of the design elements and features of the new bills.

An exhibit of artwork by Birgit Bateman. This begins at Artspring on March 8th, and all those attending our celebration are welcome to view it from 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Copies of the artwork on the $$10, $$20, $$50, and $$100, as well as originals that were used on the $$2 and $$5 and all original Pen and Ink drawings of all historical figures will be on display. As well, all artists will be present and should be available to sign copies of bills or collector sets produced to date.

Uncirculated $$10's and $$20's will be available for exchange ( Bring lottsa Canadian cash, eh!)

Announcement and details of our latest initiative, "Makin The Change"

Announcements about our plans to spend the profits.

Explanation of how current holders of Collector Sets will be able to exchange the set they have for a set with lower serial numbers (at no charge) . This will allow for matching serial numbers on larger denominations that may not be printed in numbers as high as the serial numbers of existing sets.

Hear details about a major magazine article featuring Salt Spring Island Currency as well as a planned joint venture with Adlertech International to take Salt Spring Dollars beyond our Island.

.....and much more.

In closing, our goal is to fill Artspring for this event, so please help by letting everyone know about this exciting celebration. Remember, admission is by donation so there will be no advance ticket sales.

If any of you have E-mail lists, please circulate this message for us and look for a major article in The Barnacle, Tuesday, March 5th.

THE UNIVERSAL POLITICAL AGENDA
1) "be nice to insiders"; 2) "be nasty to outsiders"; 3) "cheat whenever possible".
Under the third rule we find the intricate deception whereby plants and animals evade predators, capture prey, secure sexual services -- and in the case of Homo Sapiens, attain public office. [ DARK NATURE: A Natural History of Evil, by Lyall Watson; HarperCollins, 1997
