Talk:Spanish peseta

message: In the Spanish article of peseta we can not find anything about the other theory from the Mexican origin, moreover dimiutive of 'peso' might be 'pesito' (in masculine and with -it-). Pasqual's talk (ca) 18:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mexican origin 

message: The official name of the currency was the Peseta, not the Pesseta or the Pezeta.  As such it is absurd to add additional names. Eboracum
:The  "currency_name_in_local" section does not specify wether the language is official in all the country, or parts of it. I suposse "in_local" refers to languages spoken by a significant percentage of the local population. Perpahs you might want to discuss this issue in Wikiproject Numismatics discussion?
:As Catalan, Basque and galician are coofficial in  some parts of Spain, It is not absurd to include the name of the currency in local languages.
:However, it is true that coins and notes only showed peseta/pesetas. This does not mean everyone agreed with this practice. Even now with the euro, there is a campaign for the inclusion of cooffical languages in the spanish euro coins (http://www.om-plural.org/euro.html)

thread_title:  Peseta in Regional Language 

message: According to the Real Academia Española peseta is the diminutive of peso, i.e. weight, consistent with several other names given to currency (e.g. pounds) due to historical reasons. The peso was in fact a silver coin used in
Spain long before the peseta was introduced. No Mexican or Catalan origin is needed to explain the naming; quite probably the Mexican peso was named after the old Spanish peso, and the Catalan word is totally unrelated. Pablomme 22:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

For example, in India oen rupee is divided into 100 paise (singular paisa). Thoughts? Research? Someone else mentioned this on the Paisa page. 118.42.219.196 (talk) 15:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  In the past 

message: I bring here a discussion started through comments in the article itself. According to a section in this article (Andorran peseta) and other corresponding articles (Equatorial Guinean peseta, Sahrawi peseta), the Spanish peseta was indeed pegged by these minor currencies, even though in some cases they were never actually minted.--Gorpik (talk) 15:21, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pegged currencies 

message: I find many things wrong with this page:
* I find it shallow and inadequate;
* it has many bold assertions, but few references;
* its note does not strike me as a neutral point of view: it sounds very pro-Catalan, or at least anti-Castilian
I will be copying this note to the two interested project groups.

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: ::Gold 25 pesetas coins were introduced in 1876, followed by 20 pesetas in 1878. In 1889, 20 pesetas coins were introduced, with production of the 25 pesetas ceasing.
This does not read well. I feel like what it means is something like: "A gold coin was introduced in 1876 worth 25 pesetas, with the exception of 1878 when 20 peseta pieces were minted. In 1889, the 20 peseta piece were fully introduced. The 25 peseta piece had fallen out of favour and production ceased."
Of course I can't be sure because i came here to learn and not to improve. Could someone with good knowledge of this please edit this passage in the article so that it is not ambiguous? 80.176.89.230 (talk) 09:24, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

message: An editor recently performed a "copy and paste" move on this article. I have reverted this - primarily because it isn't normally the recommended move method - but also because there wouldn't seem to have been a move discussion or change in consensus from the previous discussion on the expected primary meaning/name for the currency article. Am opening this thread in case it is felt that a forum is required for such a move. (Though personally I'm not seeing a rationale for a move/change). Guliolopez (talk) 00:10, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
