Transition Tunbridge Wells

Local Currency is an important tool for keeping money in a local community. Surprisingly, it is perfectly legal to produce your own currency, provided you are not passing it off as sterling.

Several Transition groups have already done this and it has proved very popular, with some Lewes Pounds even finding their way onto eBay.

Here are some links to Transition Groups with local currencies that are already in use:

• The Lewes Pound
• The Totnes Pound (as featured on BBC news)

And this is one just getting started...

• The Brixton "Brick"
