In addition to direct internet trading, we will soon offer the option of using some of your trade credits to purchase a local paper currency, called Santa Cruz County Sand Dollars. The currency is handy for making purhases in places where there is no easy access to a computer, such as a Farmer's Martket or yard sale, or when you do not wish for us to have a record of your specific purchases. Some legitimate examples of this might be seeing psychiatrist or buying a gift for a loved one who sees your account.

We strongly discourage making any type of illegal transaction with the local currency, and such use may result in cancellation of the account.
