		The chiemgauer (pronounced KEEM-gower and named for the mountainous Chiemgau region near the Austrian border) is the creation of six teenage girls and their teacher, who launched the currency to help bolster the sluggish local economy.

		In the case of the chiemgauer, the notes lose 2 percent of their value each quarter if people do not spend them in time.
		The chiemgauer, named after the region around Rosenheim when it was created in 2003, follows this thinking.
		The chiemgauer depreciates at a rate of 2 percent per quarter, so Gelleri helped build in other incentives to persuade people to swap their euros for it.

	Germany’s alternative currencies
		The chiemgauer and the others are "alternatives" to the euro only in a very limited sense.
		Nonetheless, I salute the chiemgauer and similar local currencies for showing that the issue of currency need not be a government monopoly.
		Currency issue is a natural function of competing commercial banks, who can cover their costs while making their notes attractive for the public to hold.

	chiemgauer notes \| German Banknotes
		The Chiemgauer is a regional coupon system that has been started in early 2003 in the Chiemgau region in Southern Germany.
		It is supposed to further the regional economics and support regional charities (each time Euro is exchanged in to the coupon a 3% fee will be deducted and transferred to a charity chosen by the exchanging person).
		Similarly to the Chiemgauer it was a regional initiative to stimulate the local economy.

		Since 2003, some 150 shops and service providers, from the optician to the pizzeria to the local debt collection agency, have accepted the colourful orange, green and purple notes which, despite their hologram and serial number, are more reminiscent of cinema tickets than real money.
		Returning the regional currency is a more expensive business, however, as this incurs additional charges: anyone wishing to convert their chiemgauers back into euros has to pay a five-percent fee on the transaction value.
		For example, the chiemgauer is valid for three months, after which time, if it hasn't been spent, its validity has to be extended by purchasing a token which costs two percent of the chiemgauer's face value.

		The Chiemgauer didn’t emerge, as Hayek would have liked to see it in the 1970s, because of the bad quality of the money in circulation (see for instance here and here).
		Accepting the Chiemgauer is an act of defiance vis-à-vis the European authorities (and perhaps vis-à-vis ideas such as global capitalism).
		Moreover, because losing the mighty D-Mark was not a pleasant experience for the Germans (and for good reasons), the central bank itself is willing to tolerate what could appear as a threat to the Euro (see the report from the Bundesbank on the subject).

		Chiemgauer, one of REGIO projects to be dealt with later, is quite interesting in the sense that high-school female students started it up after they were interested by their professor's talk and has been operational since January 2003 at Prien am Chiemsee, 80 kms to the East of Munich.
		Their participation to Chiemgauer attracts consumers which wants to help non-profits and leads to the increase of their sales.
		And Christian Gelleri(professor) told them that a Chiemgauer bill realizes on average 2.5 transactions before being reconverted into euro while euro itself makes 1.7 before running out of the region, showing that Chiemgauer is an effective tool to enhance regional trades.
