ORIGINAL: tazzygirl pa, you do realize Ithica NY has been using a bartering system for years, yes? The Ithaca HOUR is a local currency used in Ithaca, New York and is the oldest and largest local currency system in the United States that is still operating.[1] It has inspired other similar systems in Madison, Wisconsin, Corvallis, Oregon,[2] and a proposed system in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.[3] One Ithaca HOUR is valued at US$10 and is generally recommended to be used as payment for one hour's work, although the rate is negotiable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Hours Interesting. Sometimes they shut down those. Liberty dollar was shut down.
