The small town of Ithaca, NY decided that the best way to keep money in the community was to start printing their own (legal) currency. "It's a community spirit - an idea that we're all working to help support each other as a local community solidarity."
Alternative currency is a term that refers to any currency used as an alternative to the dominant national or multinational currency systems (usually referred to as national or fiat money). Alternative currencies can be created by an individual, corporation, or organization, they can be created by national, state, or local governments, or they can arise naturally as people begin to use a certain commodity as a currency. Mutual credit is a form of alternative currency, and thus any form of lending that does not go through the banking system can be considered a form of alternative currency.
When used in combination with or when designed to work in combination with national or multinational fiat currencies they can be referred to as complementary currency. Most complementary currencies are also local currencies and are limited to a certain region.
Barters are another type of alternative currency. These are actually exchange systems, which only trade items; thus without the use of any currency whatsoever. Finally, LETS is a special form of barter which trades points for items. One point stands for one man-hour of work. (cont.)
Did you know that the Federal Reserve outsources both the ink and paper to make U.S. dollars.
And it cost more to create a one dollar bill than that dollar is worth. Very soon, hyper-inflation will reach a point that it will not be able to afford to buy the ink and paper.
That is when more zeros will be able to the U.S. dollar and we will see hyper-inflation skyrocket.
The U.S. dollar is already worth less than 40% of what it was worth at the beginning of THIS YEAR.

No, I didn't know that but think I heard that they outsourced the plate engraving -- or was it the US seal? Might be the plates and the seal engraving/molds are being outsourced. Sounded to me like an open invitation for a foreign counterfeiter or state document forger. Everything about their system is beyond stupid and gangsterism.
