A very local currency

A small English town wants to experiment with its own currency to boost the local economy. CNN's Jim Boulden reports


This sounds like a good idea, I wonder how it would fare against the Euro.


Of course, if they called it something other than a currency they could probably do it but keep it in the family town so to speak.

Of course, if it's a small enough town, a simple exchange of goods and services should suffice, just assigning each item a value.

Turning back the sands of time.

Hmmm, local bucks=male youths, obscure is the rationale behind international conflict.

No, I think it is local bucks = local $, not so obscure in money terms perhaps.
