[size=4][color=#000000]The Raam is currently used alongside Euros in accordance with Dutch law in more than 100 shops in the [color=#0b0080]Netherlands[/color]. Shops associated with department store chains in 30 villages and cities have begun accepting the currency as payment for goods and services. The Raam is convertible in Holland at the Fortis Bank in Roermond, Holland.As of 2003, the Dutch Central Bank estimated that there were approximately 100,000 Raam notes in circulation.[/color]
[color=#000000]The Raam is also in use in [color=#0b0080]Maharishi Vedic City[/color], Iowa. The Maharishi Vedic City Raam is identical to the Dutch one except for a small yellow stamp "Maharishi Vedic City". In 2002, Maharishi Vedic City Mayor Bob Wynne estimated that there was $40,000 worth of Raam in circulation.[/color]
[color=#000000]The Raam is accepted at [color=#0b0080]Maharishi University of Management[/color] and a few businesses in nearby [color=#0b0080]Fairfield[/color]. However, local banks, [color=#0b0080]Jefferson County[/color] officials and other local businesses do not accept the currency. The Jefferson County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution requiring that property taxes be paid in dollars, to preclude homeowners from attempting to pay in Raam. The First National Bank of Fairfield initially agreed to accept the Raam and exchange it for dollars, but stopped after a few weeks because of discomfort in monitoring the alternative currency on a daily basis, and potentially being stuck with worthless Raam.[/color]
[color=#000000][b][color=#ff0000]It is unclear as to how the Raam will circulate in the other countries, since 1 Raam is worth 10 Euro, and there are no smaller denominations.[/color][/b][/color][/size]
