The Potomac is a local currency that circulates in the National Capital region of the United States. It was introduced informally in early 2009 at a series of community swap meets called Potomac Potlatches and launched May 3 2009 by EcolocityDC at the Forum on Faith Economy & Ecology organized by the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns. The Ecolocity website lists eight businesses in the Greater Washington area that accept the currency as do vendors at the Petworth Community Market.
