Local Currency Networks

Local Currency Networks are systems where communities create and use their own currencies alongside or instead of national money. These local currencies encourage spending within the community, supporting local businesses and boosting the local economy. They often operate through digital platforms or physical notes and are designed to strengthen economic ties locally. By using a local currency, residents can help keep money circulating within their community, promoting sustainability and resilience. Such networks also foster a sense of community and collective economic well-being, often supported by local organizations or governments aiming to empower local economies.
