Do you need a bike to freecycle? What is microlending? Is it possible to live without using money? When were the first coins invented?

What if you could meet all of your consumer needs while, at the same time, getting to know your neighbors and protecting the environment?

Pocket Change explores how growing a cabbage can fight poverty, how a few dollars can help ten families start their own business, and how running errands for a neighbor can help you learn to become a bike mechanic.
