Mmm.  Maybe. @p{par}

That sounds a lot like the alternative local currency movement@p{--} create a local currency that somehow expresses the local community's values. @p{par}

I'm probably just a too-logical, cold-hearted geek, but building community around a currency doesn't strike a chord with me. To me, community is about people, and a currency is just a tool for transactions. I guess an analogy would be a bunch of carpenters who build a community around some Extra Special brand of nails that they create and trade amongst themselves. @p{par}
