# How are Voucher Currencies distributed?

Each issuance of Voucher Currency happens through an issuer in the ecosystem. In order for a coin to enter circulation, the issuer had to have made the required Vow deposit in order to be able to mint coins. Once their Vow deposit has been locked up, Voucher Currency distribution can commence.

When a consumer makes a purchase at a participating business, their transaction is proof of demand for Voucher Currencies within the network. Transactions are verified by regulated financial institutions in order to ensure the integrity of the distribution process. Each transaction can trigger distribution of the currency.
