Why wouldn’t you just use Monero for this?

Taler is not a (crypto)currency, but a payment protocol. Think of it as an open source alternative to Stripe, Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, etc. Can be used with EUR, USD, GBP or even XMR. It is to enable very efficient money transactions to friends, buying movie tickets or paying for online services with the wallet app of your choice with very low fees and with respect to privacy in mind.

Oh, okay, that makes more sense.
