Massachusetts Hard currencies Foreign exchange rates Discount prices Automated teller machines ab: The article reports on the local currency used by the residents of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Berk-Shares, which have an identical value to dollars, aim to keep money circulating within the local economy.

Berk-Shares can be exchanged for restaurant meals, cinema tickets, hotel rooms and ski-lift passes. The next stage of the project will see the installation of a Berk-Share automated teller machine. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2007 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
