I wonder how much it cost them to print those notes.

[Ladygooner]

I think the lowest currency note should be ?5 - after all what on earth could one buy for ?1 in East Dulwich?!

[ruffers]

Does it have to be a Dulwich Pound?

100 organics = 1 buggy?

I miss one pound notes. Could we have thre'penny bits too?

If we have our own currency can we call it the East Dulwar?

[PeckhamRose]

I think we should call it Fruit (currants, see?)

Edited for spelling so the (current) pun actually makes sense.

[chuff]

we could call it 'the smug'

wrong side of bed this morning for me :) :) :0

[SeanMacGabhann]

they should call it a "bargain" - we like a bargain

The Goose Greenback?

abbeville in france reverted back to the franc several weeks ago, it was a one week experiment to get all the local hoarders to use all the francs they still have from pre-euro days. i was there 3 weeks ago and some of the local shops were still accepting it.

[PeckhamRose]

So, what, you suggesting we dig around for old groats? ;)

[Jimbob]

you wouldn,t have to dig too much, theres enough of them on this forum.

[PeckhamRose]

No... that's "Scrotes".

This is all very PASSPORT TO PIMLICO

What about Shekels

They've got a similar scheme going on in Ambridge (on the Archers). Their's is called TEA (Transition Equivilent Ambridge) However there seems to be a problem with IOU's creeping into the monetry system and the take up of the currency in the neighbouring village of Penny Hassett (which I think is the Borsetshire equivilent of Nunhead)

How about the Yummy? Set it at 5 yummies to the pound.

[lynchhim]

I saw this in the paper the other day and thought it was a great idea.

The Dream Machine would be up for supporting an idea like this.

Have any other shops said they would be willing to take part ?

This is nothing new, I swore years ago that Clapham was using it's own currency! I remember paying 3 claam 50 for a pint years before it breached ?3 in the rest of the world!

[PeckhamRose]

Brixton did too. Remember reading about that. Don't know how legal it is, though...
