Greek town develops bartering system without euro. As Greece wonders whether its debt crisis will eventually spell its exit from the euro, one town in the centre of the country, Volos, has formed an alternative local currency. It works through a bartering system or exchange of goods.

- Never forget, NO BANKERS.......

1. There are several barter systems in the U.S.

American Barter Exchange

My Trade America

America Barter Company of NW Indiana

and many more.

As government institutions fail, the people start to develop alternatives. Hopefully we won't have to resort to using stones as money:

4. IMO, the goal is to render the banks and the bankers much less relevant.

This is one of a number of new, and not so new, ideas I've read about lately. If we can find creative ways of dealing directly with one another, and eliminate to some degree financial and governmental middle men, we move in a healthier direction.
