Taler is an alternative to cash, cheques, credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay 
etc.pp.
It can represent any currency you can think of.

Yes, but you would need to adapt the code to your needs.

Yes. However, you would still need a Palai “bank” with accounts for all users, 
where the daily income is distributed.
Users could then withdraw Palai from their “bank” account to their Taler 
wallet, receive Taler Coins representing Palai, and can spend them anonymously 
at merchants who accept them.
