The Bristol pound

[Skean Dhude]

It does what it is meant to do; keep money in the local economy. I still have Disney dollars which I swapped real dollars for. I then kept that and thus Disney made some money. there is the risk I will want to swap it back but as it is a memento of my trip I won't be doing so.

Now do I want to have a memento of Bristol, not as much but for every Bristol Pound I bring home where it is not accepted Bristol have kept £1 in their economy so it works. Plus there are collectors who collect these things. It may not do what you expect but it is still a +ve move to the local economy.

Why are you feeling foolish? There are many things I don't know about. Did you feel foolish when you first discovered 2+3 was the same as 3+2? Of course not.
