AICC starts the Baroon Dollar Project
The AICC Inc has launched its first community currency project!
The Baroon Dollar Project aims to establish a local complementary or community currency for the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland.
The currency takes its name from the Baroon Pocket Dam, Blackall Range region.
It is hoped that lessons learnt from the local model will inform the development of other community currencies around Australia.
