Just watched a tv program from a few years ago and they mentioned that the Mhaharishi Vedic City (Iowa) issued their own currency.

Apparently, after some googling, 1 Raam is equivalent to 10 Euro (in Europe) and $10 in the USA.

Does anyone have any examples of the 1, 5 or 10 of this (and I'm sorry if I offend anyone) JOKE currency?

That's strange that the Raam would have an exchange rate of both 10Euro and 10USD, when the USD id not equal to the Euro. Buy Raams with USD and exchange them for Euros, good arbitrage leverage.

FYI these local currencies are usually referred to as scrip.

Yes I thought the same but on Amida's link you'll notice that "Nederland" is printed so I assume they are not interchangeable.
After all a "charitable" organisation like that worth, possibly, billions of dollars isn't that stupid.
