	Time-based currency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Time Dollars are created via mutual credit: Each transaction is recorded as a corresponding credit and debit in the accounts of the participants.
		For that reason, the Time Dollars model works best in very narrowly defined communities (retirement homes, for example), where everyone's time, skill, experience, and effort is regarded as equal.
		Time Dollars thus recognize and encourage reciprocal community service, resist inflation without encouraging hoarding, and are in sufficient supply, which enables trade and cooperation among participants.
