beenz.com was a website that allowed consumers to earn beenz, a type of online currency (and Bitcoin predecessor), for performing activities such as visiting a web site, shopping online, or logging on through an Internet service provider. The beenz e-currency could then be spent with participating online merchants. Beenz operated in the United States, Sweden, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Australia and China. At its peak, there were offices in 15 countries, and translations of the beenz website into several languages.
