Community Currency Add-Ons

Community currencies, based on coins (medallions), paper hours, or other chits are accepted by merchants.  This keeps the currency within the community.

Enable them to move from physical paper/coin currency to electronic.

Online trading exchange to trade community currency for dollars or metal.

Bank currency, so it can be spent - Mobile app to spend banked currency.  Present QR code to merchant, or buy online at website.

Banking paper currency + mobile app + backend infrastructure will require funding.  Charge a check-in fee when banking paper currency.  Charge a transaction fee for online/mobile app.

To gain members, use MLM.  Recruit new user and get a part of their transaction fee.  Go several levels deep.

The transaction fee can also be split with a local non-profit, which the user chooses.  Optionally send user a yearly donation statement for tax deduction.

For local merchants, have the mobile app / email provide coupons & specials.  Merchant ads would have the $$$ sign (like facebook or twitter symbol often seen in print ads.)
