It's a form of alternative citizen-money exchangeable in, but independent of the doomed US dollar, and designed specifically to serve the practical daily needs of Hampden residents, rather than the greedy appetites of big banks and corporations. According to the article, the happy denizens of Hampden are taking to it like a hot fudge sundae. Food for thought.
