My husband sent me the following link:

I guess in Ithaca, New York a group has created their own community currency called the Hour. There are 900 businesses in their community that accept Ithaca Hours either in addition to or instead of US Dollars. Their goal is to strengthen the local economy and local businesses by keeping the money spent by people in the community in Ithaca. Seems like a very interesting idea and I wonder how something like that would go over around here.
Any thoughts?
