| Zusammenfassung: | Most schemes of complementary currencies developed in the last 50 years are based on the “money as a means of exchange” concept, which means exchange of individual agents based on their indi-vidual needs and offers. The individual person or is an actor in a network and by establishing a market it is possible to exchange goods and services. Mutual Credit systems LETS or Timebanks support mostly this market case and many of them limit common activities to the sole operation of the system itself. Therefore, community currencies today are often currencies operating within a community but not necessary for the community. The case of a commons is mostly not recognized as a completely different kind of exchange where needs of a whole group have to be satisfied through offers of individuals and offers of the whole (commons) have to be shared among the indi-vidual members. Such an exchange asks for different features from a community currency. This was the starting point of a project in Zurich, Switzerland to develop a more suitable and effective cur-rency on the commons idea. It is the needs and tasks of the community, the public (community) goods and common tasks which are the core and drivers of the currency. As a secondary element the traditional individual market-based system complements this common layer and strengthens its impact. Therefore, it could be seen as a two tiers model. The paper describes basics, premises and functions of the idea including some historical background and more specifically the case of Wörgel in Austria which has some interesting aspects still not widely taken into consideration. The main features of the district currency model include intended and controllable circulation, demo-cratic decision of spending and budgeting and a commons-based value system. The currency was developed along a case study in a housing co-operative in Zurich. Experiences with the planning district-currency-game give some important hints for the feasibility and the functioning of such an improved currency model and the open questions remaining to be answered. |
