George Kerevan, a member of parliament for SNP (the Scottish National Party), has suggested that a new digital currency called the 'ScotPound' could be introduced by the Scottish Parliament, claiming that the new currency and payment system would provide a number of new social and economic benefits to Scotland, while still operating alongside sterling. According to some economists, Scotland would provide a perfect testing ground for a new digital currency. This comes after a report was published recently by the New Economics Foundation, which suggested that this potential new currency could be created and distributed as a dividend to each Scottish citizen.
