Or, rather, the Djing is the new money in the building society Djingis Khan in Lund [map].
With economies shaking all over the world, the initiator Mats Lindqvist wanted to bring up the discussion about our economic system, perpetual growth and planetary boundaries. His way to do this was to start a local, alternative currency: the Djing.
What’s special about the Djing is that it isn’t as virtual and volatile as most other money we deal with nowadays. It isn’t even linked to gold or silver, which has been historically used to secure the value of a currency. These notes are instead backed up by…honey!
