Abstract :
Currently the local currency has been introduced for the purpose of encouraging the local community. The purpose of this study is that students contribute to the community through voluntary activities, and that students increase communication each other. In this paper, we propose the currency system which supports mutual cooperation of students and community people. The currency system with linking local social network service (SNS) is possible to exchange currency and information among students and community people.
