Complete

Municipal leaders authorized the creation of 20,000 Ropi tickets for distribution to local residents. Participants download the Le Ropi app and deposit 10 euros to receive 21 Ropi in their accounts. A network of shops and restaurants treats each Ropi as equivalent to one euro for purchases. Business owners redeem Ropi for euro payments from a €300,000 program fund. The program allows users to pay via the mobile app or withdraw paper currency in denominations from 0.5 to 10 Ropi.
