Monnaie Complémentaire

Monnaie Complémentaire, or complementary currency, is a form of money used alongside national currency to encourage local economic activity, support community projects, or promote sustainable practices. It operates within a specific community or network and can be used to exchange goods and services that might not be easily paid for with regular currency. Examples include local vouchers or time banks. These currencies aim to strengthen local resilience, foster cooperation, and address specific economic or social goals beyond what national currency typically offers.
