Since 1987, Disney had sold its own currency, the Disney Dollar, turning it into a distinguished and legitimate form of money within the Disney universe. However the Hollywood giant isn’t the sole player in the game of private baller dollars! There are more companies or groups who also deal in private currencies in their businesses.
What is Community Currency?
Community currency is issued by community organizations or private entities for use at local businesses with the aim of keeping money circulating within the local community. Residents can exchange dollars for community currencies at local exchanges and sometimes bank branches.
