General Characteristics of Complementary Local Currencies in France

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the subject of currency law in France as regulated in the Monetary and Financial Code. The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of legal classification of complementary currencies within the French legal system, also from the perspective of financial market supervision. The thesis that so-called complementary currencies (monnaies locales complémentaires – MLC), as instruments of local value exchange, have their place in the contemporary global economy is discussed in the article. MLC will not always constitute unregulated instruments of economic exchange, since the criteria for issuing such payment instruments allow for their diverse legal qualification under French law.
