Fourth Corner Exchange

Categories: Trading

Fourth Corner Exchange is currently a chapter of the Life Currency Cooperative Exchange in the Pacific Northwest of the US. This group supports an alternative currency called the “Life Dollar,” which stays within the larger cooperative, which spans from Oregon and California to Colorado and Ohio.

Life Dollars are considered “democratic money,” as members issue the money for local trade to help everyone meet their needs. Life Dollars don’t get siphoned off to big corporations like regular USD’s and other fiat currencies (government-backed currencies) do. Despite what’s going on in the global economy, Life Dollars will continue to be traded...even if there’s a recession, a stock market crash, or a housing bubble that’s just burst.
