Talk:Maldivian rufiyaa

message: Some of the information I fished out of the book are contradictory to minute amount of info given by the MMA site. (e.g. the introduction year of the Rf 1 coin, 1983 according to the book, a year earlier on site's coin profile). I took the older source into account and gave it more priority. Please let me know if you come across a more reliable source. --Fizan 12:25, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The displayed romanized spelling for the currency is Rufiyaa, as engraved on the coins and printed on the bank notes. I propose that we change the title of this article and all that links to it to that spelling for uniformity's sake. What do you guys think? --Fizan 03:31, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The title for this article, I believe, is wrong. Google query for rufiyaa returns some 730,000 results while query for Rufiyah returns 830. Page should be moved to Rufiyaa and templates  and  should be modified accordingly. --Oblivious 18:23, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

This is suggest to be used when someone comes up with proper designs used in reverse. I've included the observe design as I see it. Suggestions? --Oblivious 16:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there it is. I've completeted it. It doesn't have the 1 Laari coin, which has the denomination value (obverse side) & a coconut palm (reverse side). I've edited some of Oblivious's entries as the obverse side actually has the denomination value in the list of contemporary Maldivian coins. --Fizan 11:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice! I've added this to article. :) --Oblivious 12:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Contemporary Maldivian coins and notes

message: Since The currency was put into circulation on the February 1961 and all the previously traded coins, with the exception of Shamshudeen III's 1 and 4 Laari, were withdrawn from circulation on June 17, 1966. it shouldn't be in the Contemporary box Fizan? --Oblivious 05:40, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Dude, I am a bit lost here. Contemporary in the sense that it is STILL being used right? I've checked a coin just now and the minted year is 2002. My best bet is Gayoom replaced Shamshudeen's collection of coins after he was appointed. Hope that qualifies it to stay where it is, otherwise lets remove it. --Fizan 08:17, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it should stay... that was my mistake. I didn't see the with the exception of part.. heh! --Oblivious 08:20, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  1 laari in "Contemporary box" 

message: Somewhere in the article, preferrably in the history section, the formal adoption of the word Rufiyaa as the name of the currency should be mentioned. Otherwise the entire historical account of the currency seemingly looks incomplete. 202.21.191.112 14:49, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Here is the proposed currency infobox for the Maldivian Rufiyaa. --Fizan 06:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest that the "Contemporary box" moved and refactored to the style of New Taiwan dollar or Hungarian forint. --Chochopk 17:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. --Oblivious 20:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait, what about 25 and 50 laari coins, frequently used or not? And 5, 10, 20 rufiyaa notes? --Chochopk 21:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  5, 10 and 20 are not common. 25 and 50 are. --Oblivious 21:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This doesnt make any sense. You're saying there's a big gap between 2 rufiyaa and 50 rufiyaa? --Chochopk 02:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Chochopk, I was talking ONLY about laaris and NOT Rufiyaas. I misinterpreted your question. --Oblivious 16:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Yeah, but thats because people refuse to carry those coins (probably due to their low value). Some shops will even turn down payments made with those coins though it constitutes a technical offense. (Legal tender must be accepted by anyone offering products and/or services in exchange for payment). And oh, the officially pegged exchange rate is USD 1:12.85 MVR, see MMA and Bank of Maldives sites. --Fizan 04:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Buy and sell rate are 12.75 and 12.85, so the midrate has to be in between. --Chochopk 12:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
