Comments

The Doume is a complementary local currency launched in the Puy-de-Dôme département of Auvergne, one of dozens of such schemes that proliferated across France after the 2008 financial crisis renewed interest in territorial economic solidarity. Like most French monnaies locales complémentaires, it operates under a mutual guarantee structure: notes are backed one-for-one against euros held in reserve by a partner bank, typically a local Crédit Coopératif or caisse branch.

ADML63 received formal legal footing under the 2014 French Social and Solidarity Economy law, which for the first time gave complementary currencies a recognized statutory framework in France.
