Mark Herpel, the editor of Community Currency Magazine, has commissioned MoneyArt.biz to create a cookie-cutter, turnkey community currency for any community in the world to use. Silver barters can be used to back this currency, as explained below. (Note: the following images come from this page: http://moneyart.biz/cc-news.html )         For the rest of the Silver Bullion Marqs, until Silver Barters are made in smaller sizes, you would have to back them in the following way:   2 One Quarter Silver Bullion Marqs can be redeemed for 1 Half Ounce Silver Barter   5 One Tenth Silver Bullion Marqs can be redeemed for 1 Half Ounce Silver Barter The principles found in the online presentation, (Your Town) Barter Scrips: A Local Currency Plan, can be modified to accommodate the Silver Bullion Marqs. Simple, customized rubber stamps can be used to put information specific to the community right on the Marqs. For example, a stamp with the terms of redemption, a stamp with the warehouse location and contact info, and a stamp with the sponsor can all be employed. Operating in this way, using the Silver Bullion Marqs in conjuction with the Silver Barters, a community or local organization can decide today to start their own local currency and have it up and running in a week's time. If these communities or organizations also utilize the resources found on this web site, such as listing their silver bartering professionals and using the Full Bartering Value Chart and other helps, they will have great success in quickly establishing their currency. |
