Unicef launches charitable cryptocurrency Unicoin

Wednesday 15 July 2015 00:41 CET | News

Unicef has created Unicoin, a new currency, that aims to help children help other children around the world to access learning opportunities.

There is only one way to get hold of a Unicoin. You have to create and share a drawing at unicoins.org. Children can upload their drawing and accompany it with some text about what they hope to achieve in live. In return they receive a Unicoin.

Similarly, there is only one way to spend it – on educational supplies for disadvantaged children benefiting from Unicef’s Early Childhood Development programmes.

The initial production of 20,000 Unicoins has already been used, so the campaign has ended.
