Is there any way to get the RAAM Currency ( Bearer Bond ), launched in 2001 by Global Country of World Peace (GCWP - A organisation ), Headquartered in IOWA, USA.
I did some research and I think you have to go to Iowa or The Netherlands to find any.
How are we, I mean the Netherlands, involved with this banknotes?
The currency has been used in Iowa and has been also given approval in The Netherlands where more than 100 Dutch shops, department store chains, in 30 villages and cities, are using the notes at a fixed rate of 10 euros per raam.

The self-proclaimed ‘guru’ that is responsible for these notes supposedly has 230 million euros in his safe at the Fortis branch in Roermond and that is why you can exchange them there for euros.
That's about all I can find online for these notes… Less than 100.000 are in circulation and it is completely unclear how you could get your hands on one…
The Maharishi Yogi moved from Vlodrop (near Roermond - Netherlands) to Heibloem (about 30 km from Vlodrop) a few years ago. The RAAM can be used in the shops like the bakery or florist. It is hard to get these notes as the people from Maharishi use the euro in these shops mostly. They use the RAAM within their own community. Just for your information: the Beatles belong(ed) to the followers of Maharishi Yogi in the past. I can try to get you a set of these RAAM. I live in a neighboring village of Heibloem, called Egchel. It is a five minute drive for me.
Very interesting to learn something new from your own country.
The referred article is from 2003, and in the mean time, Fortis Bank does not exist any more. It tried to take over ABN AMRO Bank, but failed and then merged with the Dutch part of ABN AMRO Bank and continued under the latter name.
What on earth is that stuff - never heard of it. It looks like play money or some cult money.
Again the bar is dropping here.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

I would have been interested as well, as I heard of these well a decade ago. They would make for a lovely coffee table discussion. however the member offering them only signed up 3sep2025. So I’d rather wait (no offence;) )
