The Hawaii Dala - Guest - 07-19-2008 Bump* New topic quote: Funny you stated the dentist. I was just reading about a doctor who was bartering services for medical work. (Can't find the link now) And a A new private local currency was launched yesterday by the creator of a similar but controversial mainland program. The new local currency, known as the Hawaii Dala, described as a voluntary bartering tool for goods and services at participating merchants,.... *oops ------- Rally For the Plan RE: The Hawaii Dala - Guest - 07-19-2008 Now I'm thinking... Why can't we have a Puna Dala or a Big Island Dala?[^][?] ------- Rally For the Plan RE: The Hawaii Dala - Andrew - 07-19-2008 Damon: I heard that they had or may still have a barter system in Kauai at a farmers market that uses some sort of made up currency as well. It's a good idea until someone counterfeits it. Andrew RE: The Hawaii Dala - Guest - 07-19-2008 I hear you there Andrew... but if it's minted... it should be somewhat difficult to counterfeit. My bad on the above link, as it's almost a year old. ------- Rally For the Plan RE: The Hawaii Dala - Andrew - 07-19-2008 I have been thinking about this idea in the context of the gardening coop over in the gardening forum. I will see if I can find out more of how they did it over on Kauai. I think it's a viable option. I have too many avocados and need some fish, somebody has too many tomatoes and needs some avocados, Somebody has too many fish and needs some tomatoes. A barter currency is needed. |
