Many moons ago, the people of the region now known as Manchester traded for Food using shells. Now, just coming out of a pandemic, the people of Manchester will be able to trade for food using mum$.
What are mum$? Let me tell you more friend – you see these are wooden coins that are stamped with a special green ink. You can earn them at specific events and use them at certain vendors.
Each mum has a value of $5. The vendor will get a dollar for dollar value of each MUM spent with them. If there is any remainder or “change” when you spend them, remember to say “keep the change and thank you” as this is the vendor’s tip and thanks for participating in the program.
Here is a list of places to earn mum$:
