Talk:List of community currencies in the United States

Untitled

What on earth is this about?

If it's worth keeping, can the US states be written in full - I don't know what they all are. jimfbleak 17:07, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

huh?

I don't understand this page. most of it is uncited and none of it is explained. -- Chris Ccool2ax 04:09, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

These are currencies that are minted by cities/states in the US. Yeah, it's weird...but it's legal.

Should the Disney Dollar used in Disney World be included in this list. It seems to be the same thing as these one listed?

I'm not sure the Liberty Dollar belongs on this page. The other currencies look to be simple one to one replacements for the US dollar. They are localized dollars used to keep money in the local economy. Liberty Dollars are a non-fiat currency. They are designed as a replacement to US government currency. At the least, there should be some distinction on this page between the two types of alternatives. I'd also be curious if any of the other currencies listed are non-fiat or otherwise designed to completely replace US government currency.

Clean Up

A lot of these currencies no longer exist (or never did?). This page needs to be cleaned up or cited. --Ghtx (talk) 20:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I spot-checked these and I suspect they probably all existed in some form at some point, but many of them (Lehigh Valley Barter Hours for example) are defunct. I suspect many of them never made it past the start-up stage. I will return to work on this when I have time. Cazort (talk) 17:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

The Middletown Cash (Connecticut entry) is apparently referring to a cash card program for Wesleyan University students using their student IDs and not an alternative currency (see: http://www.wesleyan.edu/wescard/middletowncash/ ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.219.56.140 (talk) 00:25, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Dáanaa?

The Dáanaa doesn't appear to be a community currency. Following the link shows that it is a micronational currency and should be moved to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_micronation_currencies — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.65.94.193 (talk) 06:32, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

The New Guinea website says it is in the territory of Alaska and has no international standing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.219.56.140 (talk) 00:22, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Rename

The list should be renamed 'List of complementary currencies in the United States'. This is a term that encompasses local and community currencies.Jonpatterns (talk) 09:52, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
