A fact from Bristol pound appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 September 2012 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Bristol Pound, launched on September 19, 2012, is the largest alternative currency in the UK to the official
pound sterling?
Article says tax must be paid on each transaction. This implies an additional tax. However, if you read the FAQ's on the Bristol £ website, this is not the case. VAT is to be paid on transactions, which is normal. Bristol Credit Union charge a small percentage for electronic transcations and to change £B back into GBP.

Judging by the FAQ on the website, I can't see anywhere that says additional tax needs to be paid. The £B seem to act like a voucher, backed by a £ deposited at BCU. I've amended the section, well, actually completely rewritten it!

Is there scope for a criticism section in this article? There are people who have disagreed on various grounds with the Bristol Pound and published/discussed those views. — Preceding

'The virtuous circle' section
The section called 'The virtuous circle' does not mention the term 'virtuous circle'. It sounds non neutral, perhaps a better title would be 'circulation' or 'benefits'.

True. I'd go as far as to say most of that section isn't about the Bristol Pound, but about local currencies in general. The salient bits could probably be combined into the "Usage" section.

To reflect Wikipedia's style guide for the names of currency units this article ought to be moved to "Bristol pound", without the capitalisation.
