The Bijlmer Euro is project by Christian Nold & Imagine IC with the Waag Society taking the form of a complimentary local currency for South East of Amsterdam which creates economic benefits for local people, inspires social connections and builds a complex network identity for the Bijlmer. The Bijlmer Euro will launch on the 8th July 2010 with 17 participating Bijlmer shops and 2000 special Bijlmer Euro ‘bank notes’. All the participating shops will offer unique discounts when you use a Bijlmer Euro. Each Bijlmer Euro note is tagged with a unique chip which will allow people to follow all money moving from shop to shop.
