Guten tag!

As a member of the micronational community and a numismatist (currency collector), I'd like to start an open discussion on micronational currency within the MicroWiki community. Most certainly focusing on the actual production and circulation of currency in other micronations.

I'd like to report that the Principality of Chitose has been working towards circulating our own currency. With a new printer in our possession we hope to print Lyric banknotes for the first time in 2015. However there is discussion between I and other citizens about the minting of coins or the usage of an alternative valued in our lambda (cent equivalent) subdenomination.

Given limited funds and equipment, electronic currency, handcrafted coins (clay,wood,etc.), edible currency, and paper coins (inspired by their use in LARPing)

Paper coins would essentially be very small banknotes. The edible currency concept has a historical basis, stemming from the use of parmesan cheese in Italy, cocoa beans in Central America, and tea bricks in China as currencies in the past.

Lacking the equipment and resources to produce metal currencies, alternatives will be explored, though I personally feel it would make our micronation and our currency more unique.

But enough about Chitose, I'd like to hear about the currencies of other micronations here on MicroWiki!
