Become a Member
Contact us if you're interested in joining the Michiana Area Currency exchange network. Once we are ready to print and launch the new currency, you'll be asked to contribute your membership fee ($20 for individuals; $10 for unemployed, low-income, students and seniors; or $50 for businesses). You will receive at least the value of your member fee in Michiana Area Currency and a listing in our online and paper directories. Businesses will get a listing in the online and paper directories and a sign to post in their store. U.S. currency membership fees will be held in reserve to insure the value of the local currency and to support the work of expanding our regional exchange network.
