The Lewes Pound Launched In 2008

I was excited to hear back in 2008 of a local project in a town called Lewes.

A group of people had got together and decided that in order to support their local economy they would create a currency just for the town. They named this currency the Lewes Pound.

The idea is a simple one.

1. Locals buy the new currency at various places around the town.
2. Local shops that take the Lewes Pound as payment display a sign in their window.

So, do you want to strike the death knell for the Maldives, or will you use your New Years Resolutions to help them fight back? And trust me they are fighting back (see the video blow).
