Lockup funds into an L2 prior to some event where the standard forms of payment may not be readily accessible, like on an airplane or a cruise ship. Customers are able to transact and purchase while on the trip, and then the activity is settled back to the L1 and the standard monetary exchanges after the conclusion of the trip.
This indicates a type of scenario allows for local economies that integrate back into the global economy after a period of time when it may not be possible to perform activity directly within the global economy: like during a trip, or during a crisis.
Another example of where this would become quite necessary is if Mars were colonized. In that case, you would want two global economies for each planet, but they should be able to reflect transactions back and forth with complete security.
