Talkoot work tradition

Talkoot is a centuries-old Finnish form of voluntary collective work, from renovating village halls to yard clean-ups; it is recorded in the Finnish Heritage Agency's living heritage wiki-inventory.

How a note would work

Berries are earned by joining a village or club work day, from fixing a hall to staffing a kiosk, and spent on help with your own project. They are never bought or cashed out.

Design concept inspired by this tradition, not issued by or for the people who keep it. Not legal tender, not for sale, no cash value, no redemption and no investment rights.
