My brother has a auto chassis and alignment shop in Tuscon, Az.  Does a lot of fleet work.  He does a very substantial amount of business on BX, or business exchange.  He accepts BX payment from many of the business accounts and is able to use that credit at participating hotels and restaurants, has bought used cars for his daughters on BX, etc.  All goods and services are denominated in dollars, but dollars never change hands.  It also works out to be favorable on the basis of taxation.
