Lunenburg County's 1996 community dollar was part of a brief flourishing of local currency experiments across rural Nova Scotia in the mid-1990s, rooted in the LETS movement — Local Exchange Trading Systems — which treated printed scrip as a practical tool for keeping economic activity within tight-knit communities rather than as a novelty. Broad Cove, Cherry Hill, and Vogler's Cove are small South Shore settlements; their pooled participation in a shared issuing body was itself a statement about mutual dependence.
These circulated narrowly and briefly, making survivors genuinely uncommon in any condition.
