Through a case study of the Talente “Tauschring” Hannover (TTH) created in 1995, this paper evaluates the relevance of theoretical reflections on the development of community currencies to practice. Do such theoretical reflections describe the reality of the system and/or do they provide perspectives for its future development? In seeking to answer this question, the intention is to help bridge the gap between practice and theory of local exchange systems.
