Alternate currency...Their dollars, not ours....

From Conrad via email:

The follwing article focuses the locally made money that is circulating in Berkshire Hills, MA and Ithaca, NY. However, these are just two places that use a local money system, and if a researcher did some digging around probably many more can be found. One motive to use alternate currencies because of civic pride. Another motive is to have some insurance against the negative effects of a Peak Oil world.
