Money can be based on something as lovely as love. Consider:
www.thegivingcoin.org
from they're website:
Inviting Trust, Connection, and Playfullness, this Program is sure to create exciting innovative ways of "Paying it Forward". Each Flyer will then be Given a Coin, and asked to do something Magical and Creative for another Human Being... Something that reminds them that this Reality is indeed Magical as well... Give Love, and Pass it On..
This is quite an interesting basis for a currency. Gift economies are often implicit reciprocal agreements that the giver is expected to get something in return. A binding of the receiver into an informal debt. Gift economies can be quite lovely, and not necessarily of the God Father, "I will do this for you today, but remember, one day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you todo some service for me." variety.
But these coins are intended to be given without any strings attached. They are perhaps the loveliest coins i've seen.
Love,
Ken
