BGCA on WYPR’s Maryland Morning
Executive Director of Baltimore Green Currency, Jeff Dicken, appeared on WYPR’s Maryland Morning program this past Monday, along with Susan Witt of the Berkshares project. “It was an honor to be interviewed with Susan,” said Jeff, “since she’s the founder of one of the most visible complimentary currencies out there.”
Berkshares, started in 2006 in the Berkshires region of Massachusetts, has issued over $2.7 Million worth of currency in its four years of existence. When asked whether he thinks BNotes will be as successful as the Berkshares have been, Jeff said, “I’m certainly hoping that people in Baltimore realize the value of using a local currency, and I know that there are many businesses here that could benefit from it. I’m optimistic.”
BNotes are expected to launch in the Spring of 2011. If you are interested in accepting BNotes, or would like to know more, please get in touch with us on our Contact page!
