• COMPLEMENTARY CURRENCY SYSTEM
  
  See Complementary Currencies and Exchange Systems page. We are accustomed to considering only our national currencies as 'real' money. However, national currencies have been designed for specific purposes only, and cannot fulfill certain social objectives (such as fostering trade and cooperation, or ecological sustainability). Some currencies already operational today or being proposed for the future are designed to fulfill such objectives, and operate best when they are used in tandem with the national currencies.
