It's to keep local money in the local economy as you can only spend it in Bristol of course sounds like a good idea to me ie support local companies etc. They also do it in Brixton, called the Brixton Pound

It's an interesting idea but I fear is dumb, but it is good to innovate and try eccentric ideas.
how much money will they waste on this folly of an idea? I cant help feeling its like the boy who was sent to market to buy something with money but came back with 'magic beans'
