Local Money?

On one of the email list I am on, there is a discussion going on about the potential benefit of local money. This was started by the discussion of "Riverbend Tokens" which are used for food in a annual festival held in Chattanooga, TN. I don't see much value in "local money," which could be used only in a localized area, like the city of Chattanooga. However, I like designing stuff, so here's the Chattanooga Chad. (Not named after me, of course - the Chatt in Chattanooga is pronounced "Chad".)


PS - it's Purple because every picture I see of Chattanooga at night is purple, like the one on the one in the Chad.
