The Bristol Pound is a local currency that was launched in 2012 in the city of Bristol, England. It was created to support local businesses and encourage residents to spend money within their community. The currency is designed to promote economic resilience and sustainability by keeping wealth circulating locally. The Bristol Pound can be used for everyday transactions at participating businesses, and it is available in both paper notes and digital form. The initiative aims to strengthen the local economy and foster a sense of community among residents and businesses in Bristol.
