There seems to be an attempt to realize Freiwirtschaft in a small area in Canada (Canada: A nation in northern North America; the French were the first Europeans to settle in mainland Canada), based on artificial money called Gogo that loses its value after one year.
The system appears to require a sudden extreme change to completely implement, since bad money drives out good (bad money drives out good: more facts about this subject), and thus any transitional system operating two forms of currency would be unstable since one form would inevitably be preferred to the other.

 some history of local currencies
Two of the most interesting arose from the writings of Silvio Gesell, which led to the establishment of the Freiwirtschaft (Free Economy) movement in Germany and the launch of its currency the Wära, a combination of the words Ware (commodity) and Währung (a currency unit which preserves its value).
Nobody in authority took much notice of the Freiwirtschaft currency until 1931 when the purchaser of a defunct coal mine at Schwanenkirchen, a village with a population of five hundred in Bavaria, was able to re-open it by paying the miners in Wära which he had arranged they could spend in the village shops.
In their turn, the shopkeepers forced their wholesalers to accept Wära and the wholesalers passed them back to their suppliers, who spent most of the notes they received on buying Schwanenkirken coal since there were few other ways in which Wära could be used.

 Nobelpreis für Silvio Gesell posthum
Gesell was the first economist who saw that Freiwirtschaft can only be realized, if land and money are common property administrated by the state.
Furthermore, Gesell has clearly recognized and emphasized that in order to guarantee the Freiwirtschaft all goods produced by human work have to be private property.
Had Gesell's reforms been carried out, the unjustified private interest income without work from money, land and natural resources would have been made impossible.
