Local Money
Some communities are printing their own currency as a way to encourage people to buy locally, reinvesting in their own community. Often the currency is purchased for slightly less than its face value.
There are now "cheers" in Detroit, "hours" in Ithaca NY, and Berkshares in Berkshire, MA.
The currency is legal as long as it is not passed as federal currency nor resembles it.
