Patriotism

What's the colour of patriotism? Some might argue it's the red of your blood, or the green of your land. Well my colour is copper. Yep bright metallic copper tone

The same colour and mineral structure as a ten or twenty five cent coin.

If you really want to support your country then use your "red money". It's legal tender and accepted anywhere they take Master card or Visa in this island.

Stop taking them for a joke. All too often I see people screwing up their faces and bitchin about the state of the economy and how the dollar depreciating every day. Well how the hell you expect the economy to get any better if you don't do your little part. Support your Jamaican products, and support your own damn currency! Money doesn't exist in a vacuum and very simply put if you throw away and scorn it on the ground it ain't going to sprout into a magical beanstalk. It has to be used and circulated and above all appreciated. You and your granny-horse-dead-cow-fat struggle so hard for di likkle money.

Tap fling it weh!

All the same U.S. dollar that you buying up like it going out of style, you think that's going to make your own dollar any stronger? No it Ain't. So stop with the terrorist activities. All you do, every time you get the coins, put it in a jar and at the end of the month jus go change it at the bank.

Build Jamaica, Save in Jamaica(n)

The thing is that people don't want to take it. I tried to pay a lady with 8 25c coins and she proceeded to tell me that she would rather I come back later and pay her the $2 but she doesnt want any 25c coins!

BLACK, GREEN an GOLD ALL THE WAY!!
