TENINO, Wash. (AP) — The small town of Tenino, Washington, south of Olympia, is taking an unusual approach to helping residents and businesses in need during the economic fallout from coronavirus: It’s printing its own money.

The wooden currency is modeled on a program the city used to help its people get through the Great Depression, and it’s even printed on the same 1890s-era printing press.

Residents who qualify get up to $300 per month, and businesses can redeem them for real money at City Hall. It can’t be used for alcohol, tobacco or marijuana.
