BEKA — Bevška Kasa — is a local complementary currency issued in Bovec, Slovenia, not a state or central bank instrument. These notes circulate within a network of participating local businesses as a regional economic solidarity scheme, a model with loose precedent in systems like the Swiss WIR franc. The 500-unit denomination is unusually large for a local currency of this type, where high face values rarely see meaningful turnover.
