How it would work

Two neighbors trade favors: one fixes flats, the other roasts coffee at home. A fix earns a few Beans, and Beans trade for a bag of home roast. No shop is involved.

Design concept for a community-credit system. Not legal tender, not for sale, no cash value, no redemption and no investment rights. In this design, credit is earned by contributing and spent on the shared thing.
