message: Goodmorning everybody. Living in the Eurozone , I have some problems with the Infobox of the currency Euro in Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Sandbox :  In the part reserved to the Country(ies) that use(s) this currency, you find the following items : Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, Kosovo, Montenegro, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and Mayotte. As for me, that part should be subdivised :
*Today, 12 states are in the Eurozone and are allowed to print euros and mint euros with a their own national face : Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain
*3 micro-states have the euro as official currency and are allowed only to mint coins with a their own national face (because bilateral conventions, either with France or Italy) : Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City.
*Andorre which used either French Franc or Spanish Peseta has decided to have euro as official currency. But Andorre is not allowed to print or to mint euro.
*In Kosovo, euro is the currency that the UN have decided to use : In accordance with UNMIK regulation No.1999/4 the Euro   (“EUR”) was adopted as one of the official currencies in Kosovo from January 1, 2002.  It replaced the German Mark (“DEM”) being then the measurement and reporting currency in the territory of Kosovo.  Today, Euro is the most widely used currency in Kosovo.
*The Republic of Montenegro forms part of The Yugoslav Federation, but the official means of payment in Montenegro is euro. It was introduced on the basis of the Law on the Central Bank - as the replacement for the German mark that previously replaced dinar in 2000.
*Guadeloupe, Martinique, la Réunion are overseas département of France and are therefore not  states but a integral part of the France.
*Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and Mayotte are French overseas collectivities
I am sure that you could make the same remarks with a currency as the United States dollar.
Thank you to take part of these remarks.  Marc --Flafla89 13:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dividing it into different sections will be much too complicated. Leave that to the articles in question, which explain it in great detail. FYI: Andorra is in negotiations to be allowed to join the eurozone either this or next year, and the other three microstates are somehow part of the eurozone. —Nightstallion (?) 20:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I once changed dinars in Yugoslav dinar to dinara and was reverted, with the explanation that several languages were used in the various Yugoslavias and thus several local plural forms are possible (I don't know if several forms of the singular were also used).

message: User:Dove1950 have been changing all the "Lebanese pound" term to "Lebanese livre". He claims it is according to numismatic style that I couldn't find. But why "Lebanese pound" shouldn't be used? Is it because we shouldn't use translations? Then the title must be "Livre Libanaise" and not "Lebanese livre". And "Lebanese pound" is a very common usage in english texts (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)). And if we changed this name should we change also Egyptian pound to Egyptian Juneh or Syrian pound to Syrian lira? CG 19:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been lots of discussion (some might say too much) here about what currency articles should be called. The final consensus (as near as I could determine it) has been incorporated into the numismatics style guide which says, basically, that we should use ISO 4217 names for current currencies, although no one has determined the exact details of this, since ISO 4217 is not always consistent. For older currencies, it should be the common name if there is such a thing and it is known, and if not, the English name of the country followed by the local name of the currency. So, for Lebanon, it should be "Lebanese pound". This is a recent update to the style guide, and Dove1950 may not be aware of it. I will post a note to his talk page.

message: I was looking for some information on the history of chinese currency, ie first paper money, cash coins, cowrie shells etc.  But could find nothing, I was kind of shocked at the absolute lack of information on this.  I've nominated Chinese currency as a COTW, I think that the Chinese currency article should be about the history of currency in china and list the different forms they took, instead of just redirecting to it's current legal tender unit.  If you're interested, you can vote to support it, or if you think that the article Chinese currency shouldn't be about it's history but it's current unit, then please raise concerns there as well. - Hahnchen 21:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: As you're probably aware, a new $10 note was put into circulation recently. The image that was on United States ten-dollar bill was from moneyfactory.gov and suffered (I think) from a number of problems:
# It was labeled with "SPECIMEN"
# It didn't represent the correct colors of the notes in circulation
I've uploaded an image of a note I received recently which more accurately represents the colors of the note and does not contain "SPECIMEN" on it. See :Image:US $10 Series 2004 face.jpg. The old moneyfactory.gov image was at the same filename; you can see it by looking at the image history at the bottom of the page.
My question is two-fold:
# From a legal standpoint, is it okay to use an image like this (it's relatively high resolution, but you'd need a much higher resolution scan to do anything illegal I'd think)?
# Does anyone have any problem with the image I've uploaded?
If there's no legal issue, and assuming there's no problem with the face image, I'll scan and upload a matching back image of the note. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:39, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I've just come across a rather awkwardly named pair of articles on two completely different coins: British Half Penny coin and British Halfpenny coin. The former refers to the pre-decimal coin (worth one half of an old penny, ceased to be legal tender in 1969) and the latter to the decimal coin (worth one half of a new penny, ceased to be legal tender in 1984). To the layman, neither title refers unambiguously to one or the other, and so a casual reader typing one into his address bar may or may not come across the article he is looking for.
I suggest moving the decimal article to British decimal half penny coin and the pre-decimal article to British pre-decimal halfpenny coin, with the old titles redirecting to British half penny coin (disambiguation).

I thought about make it "bilateral peg", but then we would have to make the distinction between bilateral and unilateral in every case, which is a pain. --Chochopk 18:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I know this is an old subject, but German unit is still not resolved. I am now proposing
* German mark -> German Mark
* East German mark -> East German Mark
* German reichsmark -> German Reichsmark
* German rentenmark -> German Rentenmark
* similar cases in Category:German currencies
* Austrian schilling -> Austrian Schilling
* Austro-Hungarian krone -> Austro-Hungarian Krone
* Liechtenstein krone -> Liechtenstein Krone
* Liechtenstein frank -> Liechtenstein Frank
and so on
And all instances in the text to upper case.
The reason for this is there has been a consensus to use <adjective form of country> <currency unit in local form>, and use plural of the local form when talking about it in the article (i.e. Not Japanese yens, but yen. Not 10 Marks/marks but 10 Mark/mark). And I believe capitalization is part of a language's grammar. Therefore, the cap.
If you read this, please respond. The inconsistency now is out of control. And I have engaged in a small revert war recently.

replies: text: It's actually about more than two, but there are only two left now. One of my plans, before I ended up taking an extended wikibreak was to completely update the article. I never really got started. Global Financial Data has a page that's just about the CFA franc. Talk:CFA franc has a link to it. If you split it, there is a question of what to call the new pages. The coins say "West African CFA franc" and "Central African CFA franc" (or something similar, in French), but the ISO calls them CFA Franc BEAC and CFA Franc BCEAO (or something similar -- I'm going from memory). As a collector, the former are more familiar and logical to me, but more people seem to prefer ISO (which I'm not a fan of personally). At /Sandbox/Succession, I started charting the succession of the CFA francs, and it's a bit confusing because the currencies were/are worth the same amount but do not circulate across borders. The info I found on the web (GFD and TMMF -- see succession page for links) was not always detailed and didn't always agree. I would love to see this area improved, but got too engrossed in it last time I tried. Ingrid 05:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I am a freshman here, so I don't know what the practice is when sorting circulating coins/banknotes into frequently used and rarely used categories. I would like to know your opinions on a few questions.
1. Which coins/banknotes should be considered as rarely used?
2. Include recently withdrawn denominations as rarely used or not? (See: Czech koruna)
Articles on current currencies might be visited by many non-numismatists (e.g. searching country info before travelling), so circulating coins and banknotes should be clearly separated from withdrawn. Moreover, only regular issues and those commemorative issues should be considered as circulating, which are minted/printed in large quantity and realesed into common circulation (i.e. which appear in everyday use, even if very rarely).Timur lenk 08:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
