Why £21? With the circulation of each Lewes Pound note, the organization will donate 5% of the face value to the Live Lewes Fund which is set up to aid and help pay for a range of community group projects. http://www.mainstreetcash.org/?p=930 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:25:57 GMT http://alt-money.tribe.net/thread/88dfbdfd-4e23-4d7f-a5e0-1a71697048d6#92348c13-68e7-4ae8-8f81-832dba1447e0 Mark herpel 2009-07-04T22:25:57Z http://alt-money.tribe.net/thread/88dfbdfd-4e23-4d7f-a5e0-1a71697048d6#5846cc73-4d09-4136-9b1b-c3b0c97fee27 I don't see the dilemma.

I was a member of the LETS scheme in Totnes, which must have led to the Totnes Pound in existence now.. we never had a problem with people not cashing in their cheques of LETS, as they were often just flimsy hand written peaces of paper.. only useful to the bookkeeper of LETS (as she could enter the value in the bank accounts, and we as members could then check its correct entry). I guess they made the Lewes Pound too attractive! But I agree with the article, I dont suppose that many will get sold..even so.

Or should/could it be controlled somehow? What if notes "expired" after a time period, unless renewed somehow when spent?
