  abstract = {{C}omplementary currency system ({CCS}) complements the official currency, with a view to accounting for and regulating exchanges of goods and services in a local space. {D}espite the topicality and the number of these complementary currencies, the large majority of economists seem to pay marginal attention to them. {T}his article proposes some reasons to explain it. {F}undamentally, conventional economics is based on a methodological approach and on theoretical and normative conceptions of money - its essence, status, size, and governance - that prevent it from understanding these monetary schemes. {F}irst, the heterogeneity of {CCS} and their new emergence confront economics to a methodological problem of measure of their impacts. {N}ext, we show that, because of their limited purchasing power in time and in space, economics can't justify their use in market economy. {L}ast, we will see that the monetary rules of issuing and regulating {CSS} prevent main contemporary monetary approaches to recognize and legitimate them.},
