Talk:Portuguese escudo

message: Apparently the dollar sign is usually used as the escudo sign; Unicode seems to unify them. Is there any good reason to use that ugly TeX markup instead of a plain old dollar sign? Hairy Dude 04:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it has 2 bars? --Chochopk 05:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Correct. The escudo sign is not usually part of character sets, so an approximate representation has to be used and that coincides with the dollar sign. --maf 12:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't recall to have ever seen the dollar $ign. Everywhere, if possible, the 2 vertical bars were used with two zeros on the right side (remnant habit from the times when fractions were significant, before progressive depreciation). The dollar sign was solely used when the double bar sign was not available in character sets. --Richard George 02:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Right. The dollar sign was (wrongly) used when personal computers come around as computer character sets do not have a cifrão one. Much in the same vein (influence of computer use and handheld calculators), people are now (wrongly) using the dot as a decimal separator, although the decimal separator for languages other than English is the comma (ISO). --Xyzt1234 11:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've moved the article to Luxembourgish franc. I saw in the history that it has been batted to and fro a bit.
I've only ever heard the term "Luxembourgian" from British people who, not knowing the adjective, have made one up. In the 12 years I lived in Luxembourg (predominantly among English-speaking people), I never heard this term used. The closest debate I ever heard on the matter was "Luxembourgish" vs. "Luxemburgish".
Google gives 2,710,000 results for "Luxembourgish" but only 62,100 for "Luxembourgian".

:The term Bezant is used by Polo always (I believe) as it is by Joinville, by Marino Sanudo, and by Pegolotti, for the Egyptian gold dínár, the intrensic value of which varied somewhat... The exchange of Venice money for the Bezant or Dinar in the Levant varied a good deal...

thread_title: Untitled

message: The coin shown on this page is an Umayyad gold dinar, not a silver dirham, as should even be visible from its color. The inscription in the center says "Allaahu Ahad. Allaahu-l-Samad. lam yalid wa-lam yoolad"="God is One. God the Everlasting. He does not beget and was not begotten." This quotes most of Qur'an, Surah 112, verses 1-3. Around the margin, the coin reads, "Bism-illah. duriba haadhaa-l-dirhamu fee sanati sab`in wa-sab`een"="In the name of God: This dirham was struck in the year seventy-seven." Since the Umayyad epigraphic coin reform took place in the year 74 AH=693-694 CE or AD, this is a very early Muslim epigraphic coin, dating from 77 AH=696-697 CE and therefore from the reign of the Caliph `Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (reigned 685-705). It is not from the reign of `Ali (r. 656-661) and was not struck in the city of al-Basrah in Iraq, where gold was not struck. Although its mint is not given, it was probably struck in Damascus. There are no dated coins of `Ali, and the names of the caliphs do not begin to appear on the coinage until `Abbasid times in the 3rd cent. AH/9th cent.
