So kam der Name Gogo zustande:

How the Gogo got its name

Last time somebody asked me again what the name Gogo means and was not satisfied with the pat answer: „Money on the go!"

So here is the whole story as far as I can recollect. When the idea of a local money, which had the working title of"V 80 Can$" (The value of the Canadian Dollar in 1980 as measured by the Consumer Price Index) was discussed in a somewhat lubricated brainstorming session, it started with explaining what this money actually was. How to find a name for that monster?

If I remember right it went over, someone said ''why not call them ''G G'' for Grand Forks Gesell money?'', which became ''Gogo'' pretty fast.

Then all kinds of names for the ''Gogo" were suggested: Stabilo, because of its stability came close. Granda, Bobcat, Skunky, Peach, Goldy, Greeny, Super, Solido, Spunky are a few I recollect, but a funny thing happened. I also had liked Pemo for peoples money and Pecho for people changer. Every time some new name for the ''Gogo" was proposed, the Gogo was mentioned until everybody got so used to the name that everybody laughed when somebody said: ''Now I have to go-go. Tell me, if you find another name."

So Gogo it was!

In other towns and other countries they will probably use other names, but as long as they use a value of the past and stick to it and apply a small user fee to keep them in circulation even at low interest levels, it will be Gogos they have and they will set them free.
