Having traveled outside of the country, I can easily compare how duty free shops differ and how people who travel from one country to another shop before and after their flights. Some travelers especially one-time traveler usually spend the remaining coins or paper bills of the country they visit at the airport's duty free shops. The duty free shops daily activities are like malls on sale with so much shoppers 24/7.

I myself spent my last coins for buying chocolates though I know there are many chocolates here. I bought because I don't want to keep the coins which I can't spend in my home country and which will be of lesser value than when I bought it if exchanged.

But what if a blockchain can be utilized such that a token or a coin like DutyCoin can be used at any duty free shops without having to purchase  a foreign currency? This will eliminate the many exchange transaction fees and the hassle of providing personal information to the bank or the exchange shop.
