The article has this information.

> The spending comes with a few restrictions: Residents can’t use the money to buy cigarettes, lottery tickets, or alcohol. The currency is designed for the essentials, including food, gas, and daycare. Almost every business in town accepts the wooden notes, and twice a month, they can submit redemption requests to the city to turn the notes into cash.

Thanks, I missed that.

It was at the end of a section that started with "Fournier isn’t your cookie-cutter politician. A firefighter since the age of 18, ..." so I assumed the whole section was going to be a backstory on the person and skipped it.
