  3. Maui Trade Dollar;

    I dug this one out of storage for this thread! Produced by the Maui Chamber of Commerce, it is intended as a local currency. I don't know how much use it gets as actual payment for goods; it is clearly designed to appeal as a souvenir. It has been produced annually since 1992, with a new design every year featuring local flora and fauna.

    I note also that the text on the coin says it is only good "during 2000."

    I got mine on a trip to Maui - probably in the year on this coin, 2000. I was visiting my parents on the Big Island and we took a trip to Maui to visit friends and go whale watching. I bought it at a local shop for the face value of $1. It's fairly large - 4cm across - plenty of room to show off a pretty design.

  8. #localcurrency systems gaining again popularity in Japan after a previous peak two decades ago.

    While these projects generally struggle versus overdominant official currencies, they show the mindset required if your objective is to have real impact in economic structure.

    Contrast with antisocial "zero trust" #crypto that only enables scams and speculation.

    The locality concept need not be literal, e.g., could be paired with #fediverse #decentralization #gnutaler

  13. je trouve la question de la création monétaire fascinante (pour son aspect social, style observation de colonies de fourmis qui s'échange des petits bidules entre eux). Et cette question m'interpelle d'autant plus que les collectivités devront bientôt (avec la #GreatSimplification qui vient) développer des monnaies locales qui auront à répondre aux mêmes mécanismes psycho-sociaux d'attribution de la valeur.

  16. Spent this morning with a team from BBC Alba. They were filming a short piece about our local currency, the Eko – pictured – for a ‘Speak Gaelic’ programme due out in early 2024.
