Talk:Austrian schilling

message: Why do we have this comment "It was worth approximately 5 pence in the British coinage system."? It's true that at the end of its existence the Schilling was worth around GBP 0.05 (which in pre-decimal currency was one shilling), but that was just pure coincidence. When I first travelled to Austria in 1984, GBP 1 bought something like 34 schillings, and this was considerably less than a pound bought ten years earlier! -- Arwel 01:38 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
Think about that: there hadn't been the drift that happened between (say) the Pound and the Lira, or proportionality between the half crown under its occasional name the half dollar and half of the US dollar (they remained at reasonable ratios until the Second World War, but then drifted apart). So the "coincidence" is actually something rather remarkable. PML.
:Resuming the conversation over 3 years later: That's a silly argument - we say in the article that in the 1950's the Schilling was tied at 26 to the US dollar, this was at the time that a pound was fixed at $2.80, so then £1 = approx 73 schillings. -- Arwel (talk) 01:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. It was of course just a coincidence. I noticed it too. Twenty Schillings to the Pound. But there is absolutely no significance to be read into it. The Austrian Schilling began as a one-to-one swap with the Reichsmark in 1945 and it just happened to settle on that value against the Pound sterling by the late 1980's. Don't forget that people were watching Regan and Carter on the Sweeney at the same time as the Reagan/Carter presidential election in 1980. David Tombe (talk) 15:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Expert of Austrian matters, please help. Is the symbol S before numbers or after? Is there a space between S and the numbers or not? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 04:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I seem to recall usually writing a serif font S in front of the numbers with a space in between, but as that used to be back when I was in elementary school, I wouldn't bet on it. —Nightstallion (?) 16:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: What metal was the last coins issued? I have a 1985 piece and it looks like Aluminium but is as heavy as the zinc coin. Coour is silver. Enlil Ninlil 09:42, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be pure zinc (according to both my Krause and a .pdf file I downloaded a couple years back from the austrian mint website)  Gecko G (talk) 08:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The table refers to a bimetallic coin introduced in 1996, but the image depicts a distinctly non-bimetallic 1972 coin. Shouldn't we use an image in the table that actually matches the description given? 75.76.213.106 (talk) 22:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
