Tom also replies by mentioning a commodity backed approach for a local or
regional currency :

http://www.scribd.com/doc/13266703/3-09-Ralph-Borsodi-Constant-Currency

which reminds me of Bernard Lietaer's "Terra", which, as I currntly
understand it, is based on a basket of commodities , but also holds
demurrage :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_(currency)

 *" Terra** (The Trade Reference Currency, TRC) is the name of a
possible **"world
currency"* <http://wiki/World_currency>*. The concept is currently proposed
by **Belgian <http://wiki/Belgium> **economist **Bernard A.
Lietaer*<http://wiki/Bernard_Lietaer>
* and is based on the historic proposal of L'Europa.*

*The **currency* <http://wiki/Currency>* is meant to be based on a
**basket*<http://wiki/Basket_(finance)>
* of the 9-12 most important **commodities* <http://wiki/Commodity>* (according
to their importance in **world wide trade*<http://wiki/World_Trade_Organization>
*). "*


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demurrage_(currency)#Current_examples

excerpt :

" Bernard Lietaer <http://wiki/Bernard_Lietaer>'s
terra<http://wiki/Terra_(currency)>
 is a commodity basket currency proposal similar to Keynes'
bancor<http://wiki/Bancor>
 or L'Europa and bearing a demurrage charge. "
