Stroud pound
The Stroud Pound is a local currency in use in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Unveiled on 12 September 2009, the scheme is the third local currency scheme introduced in England in recent years after the Totnes Pound and the Lewes Pound.〔(Town launches its own bank notes ''BBC News'' 13 September 2009 )〕
==History==
Launched on 12 September 2009,〔("Stroud pound ready to launch", ''Times Online'', 11 September 2009 )〕〔(Will the Brixton pound buy a brighter future? ''The Guardian'' 16 September 2009 )〕 the scheme is an initiative of the local Transition Towns group. Unlike the Totnes Pound and the Lewes Pound, the scheme is based on the Chiemgauer, a community currency circulating in the Chiemgau region of Bavaria, Germany since 2003. As of April 2010, 30 businesses in Gloucestershire are enrolled in the programme.〔(UK town creates own money, ''Big Pond News'', 3 April 2010 )〕
On the day of the launch, local currency with a face value of over 1,000 Stroud Pounds was sold.〔("Shoppers convert more than £1K into Stroud Pounds", ''Stroud News & Journal'', 14 September 2009 )〕
However, in 2011 only £4000 worth of Stroud pounds were issued. Some local businesses complained about the hassle and said customers still supported them but preferred to use sterling.〔Dave Harvey, ("Bristol Pound launched to keep trade in the city" ), BBC News, 19 September 2012.〕
