British bristol to launch own currency

YEREVAN, August 16. /ARKA/. The British city of Bristol said it will launch its own currency -the Bristol pound -- usable only with member businesses in the city in southwest England --in September, RIA Novosti reported.

Hundreds of businesses have joined, from the acclaimed Arnolfini arts centre to the Chandos deli chain, and the launch had to be postponed from May to September 19 because of the level of interest.

The notes feature symbols of local pride from nineteenth-century religious writer Hannah More to the Concorde aircraft, partly developed in Bristol, and images of the St Paul's Carnival Caribbean street festival.
