The businesses taking part in the pro-lira initiative are diverse, as are the amounts involved. A marble cutter in north-western Bursa province is promising a free tombstone for customers who exchange $2,000. "We even place the tombstone in the graveyard," Enes Alan tells Hurriyet Daily News , adding that he wants to "defend" the lira. "Hopefully, our citizens will be able to solve their own problems with their own effort... We'll protect our country and our economy. We won't abandon it."
