"For the gymnasts and swimmers, a gold medal means endorsements. It really is a great reward financially to win a gold medal."
"The reason why a lot of small towns use alternative currencies is to keep the money local- so the money doesn't go out to big box stores and supports the local economy."
-- JoAnn "Flash" Fleming on Flash Talks Cash
