KARMA CASH
The Dutch central bank has given the all clear to the well-meaning and well-known Indian mystic, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who has issued his own alternative currency, the “raam”, as part of his mission to spread peace and love in the world. Last October, his organisation based in the Netherlands, the Global Country of World Peace, issued a series of colourful notes, denominated in ones, fives and tens, that the Dutch central bank has investigated and decided do not violate any laws. A spokesman for the bank said, “It is within the boundaries of the law... as long as the Maharishi doesn't suggest that this is legal tender and it doesn't resemble the euro… There is a closed circuit; transactions can only be made at certain shops.” Raam are accepted in over 100 shops in the Netherlands at a fixed rate of 10 euros per raam. The Maharishi, whom the Beatles paid a much-publicised visit in India in 1968, and whose followers number some six million, also hopes to use the raam to help people barter goods and services as part of its aid programmes in developing countries.
