Tumin. Solidary Economy

Tumin is a portrait of El Espinal, a forgotten little municipality in the mountains of Totonacapan in northern Veracruz state, which decided to design its own economic system and printed communal money called the Tumin. This currency is based on the barter syste. Thus they began an autonomous project with their own resources, unconnected to the government´s hand and running countercurrent to the capitalist system.
