What could possibly go wrong..........Group hopes 'Detroit Dollar' pays off for biz

Group hopes 'Detroit Dollar' pays off for biz | Crain's Detroit Business:
"For the second time since the Great Recession, Detroit may have its own currency.
 Al Bogdan, consultant and head of AAB Development Strategies LLC, is hosting a community meeting at the downtown Park Bar on Wednesday to discuss the idea.
 The goal of the group, dubbed Detroit Dollar Co., is to recruit 1,000 Detroit businesses in two years to use the Detroit Dollar to promote a "buy local" mentality. 
 The group hopes to have $1 million worth of the currency in circulation in the next two years. "
