I helped RHD set up their Equal Dollars currency back in the late 90’s. Here is a recent report about it from CNN. Sorry about the annoying commercial at the beginning.–t.h.g.

The End of Money and the Future of Civilization
The first edition of my book, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, was published by Chelsea Green Publishing in 2009. While it remains
as relevant today as it was when first published the printed book has been out of print for several years. But, having had the rights reverted to me by my publisher, I am making the entire book available for free in PDF format. You can read it or download it HERE. If you would like a hard copy of the first edition used copies can still be found on Amazon.com, Abe books, Thrift books and elsewhere.
Better still, you can avail yourself of the new revised and expanded 2024 edition which I have been working on for almost two years and is almost complete. Eighteen chapters have already been posted and can be freely read or download HERE.My previous books, as published, may be freely accessed in digital format by clicking the title below.
Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender (2001)
New Money For Healthy Communities (1994)

Beyond Money 
I mean, the issuance of certificates is it centralised and if so there has to be an greeement among members which are producers and labourers? Is it so? Thanks

I’m not fully apprised of recent developments there so I don’t have definitive answers. You can contact them directly. Just search on Equal Dollars. Originally, it was set up as a currency issued by the administrative body within RHD. I’ve tried to guide them on the proper issuance of currency to avoid debasement, but I’m not sure if they’ve always followed my advice.

Thanks Tom, great Video.
But how do you start all this? Who is authorised to issue hours/money?
Thanks,
Arnaldo
