Community currencies are a type of money that is used in a specific area or community. They are not the normal money that you would use at a store or bank, but they can buy things in that particular area or community. Community currencies are usually created by a group of people in the community who want to help the people in their area by making it a little easier for them to get what they need. Community currencies help people support their local businesses, create jobs, and make their community stronger.
