Local Currency: Local Currency, Empowering Communities, Transforming Economies
About this audiobook
What is Local Currency
A local currency is a type of currency that can be used to make purchases at participating organizations within a specific geographical area. This type of currency is used in economics. The difference between a community currency and a regional currency is that the former may be local, while the latter may be used for transaction within an online community. Regional currencies include a greater geographical area than community currencies do. To stimulate spending inside a local community, particularly with locally owned enterprises, a local currency serves as a complimentary currency to a national currency rather than replacing it. Its primary objective is to encourage spending within the community. It is possible that such currencies are not accepted as legal cash and are not supported by a national government. The worldwide database maintained by the Complementary Currency Resource Center has listings for over 300 complementary currencies, which also includes local currencies.
