Preferred term

community currencies  

Definition(s)

  • Community currencies are fast-growing money and exchange systems operating on a local level in municipalities and regions worldwide. Conventional economic theory implicitly assumes that money is a passive medium of exchange affecting neither the transactions performed nor the relationships between the people using the money.
