"Bornholmerspillet", complete set in original packaging
Bornholm has actually had its own currency. 30 years ago, a number of creative souls published the Bornholm game, which contained 12,000 Bornholm Dalere.
Only four days after the game hit the streets, it was seized by police. It was feared that the Bornholm Dalere could be confused with real money.
The late Jacob Ludvigsen wrote about the event in 2006
- Even though the Bornholm game was a joke, the initiative had a deeper meaning. We wanted to mark that Bornholm would be better off with an independent economy with inspiration from the European island communities, where special economic status compensates for the location's disadvantages.
