Gift Currency. A new project called datti is offering a way to build gift economies on a community level by witnessing and memorializing gift transactions using beautiful, pewter coins. Inspired in part by the work of Charles Eisenstein, the creators of the datti have designed a special pewter coin that functions like “money in reverse,” or as a pay-it-forward token, inspiring future gifts to flow in all directions. The organizers explain it like this: If a person gathers a bag of food from her vegetable garden and gives it to you as a gift, along with this gift she may give you a datti.

You now have this coin, and it is your turn to give a gift. You may choose what to give based on another person's need, or you may choose something based on your own art, craft, or inspiration. When you have chosen your gift, you give it away to a new person and pass the datti along with it. In this way, the coin travels from person to person riding along with unique gifts.
