Talk:Manx pound

message: The article says "The Isle of Man pound is not sterling", but http://www.isleofman.com/tourisminfo/faqs/ and http://www.douglas.org.im/Spot.asp both say it is sterling. Who is right?
:The IoM government refer to the Manx pound interchangably with Sterling, and the Department of Trade and Industry specifically state: The Island's currency is pound sterling.82.152.96.238 15:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Considering that the currency is not legal tender in Britan or Northenr Island, I would consider it as tied to the Pound sterling and not part of the Pound Sterling. And here Manx Pound the treasury stats the currency as being equivalent to and not Sterling.Enlil Ninlil 05:35, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Scottish notes are not legal tender in Scotland or England. British coins are legal tender on the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands (e.g. see Decimal Currency (Jersey) Law, 1971). The position of the governments of all Crown Dependencies, and the position in law, is that all are the same currency. The Isle of Man goverment specifically state that 'The Island's currency is pound sterling'. Note that saying that the coins and notes are 'equivalent in value' is 'not the same as saying that it is 'not pound sterling'.82.152.178.137 23:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

text: That reference is a little vague, it doesnt say the manx pound is pound sterling, just that the sterling circulates there. If the manx pound was sterling it would be legal tender in England! Enlil Ninlil 04:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think you understood properly. There's a difference between banknotes and currency. Scottish banknotes are definately sterling, but are not legal tender (in Scotland or England). The Manx Pound is a variant of GBP, and is noted as such under ISO 4217 which denotes global currencies. Also, that reference couldn't be clearer: "The Island's currency is pound sterling". It doesn't say anything else, nothing about circulating, nothing about 'Manx pounds as well'. Basically, both Bank of England pounds, Scottish banknotes, and Manx pounds are all Pounds Sterling. Mauls 13:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it is part of the Pound Sterling. See this Freedom of Information request response from the Bank for more information: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/24900/response/65167/attach/3/Services%209347205%201.PDF.pdf
Banknotes issued on the IOM 'do not form part of the currency base of the UK's sterling currency'. There are no restrictions on the amount of currency which can be issued by the IOM government, no requirement to back it with deposits at the BOE and no obligation on the part of the UK govt to underwrite the notes issued.
The IMP seems to exist in a bit of a legislative black hole, which is I suppose what you would expect of an ancient arrangement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.212.131.161 (talk) 15:26, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Manx currency sterling? 

message: The help of a subject matter expert is requested.
I've been wikifying this article - tying in links, etc., - and doing some general cleanup.  I've noted two issues with the paragraph about the George III coin issue of 1786:
#The description calls both faces of the coin the obverse -- one is obviously the reverse, but I'm not 100% certain of which
#There is no Lewis Pingo article, but there is a (brief) Thomas Pingo article, that states that he did a George III coin, and also that he had a son, Lewis, who took over from him
Since I'm not certain of the facts on either of these two points, I left them intact, but noted them with wiki comments inside the text.

thread_title:  So whats the point of this currency 

message: There have been perennial problems with the opening to this article. Here are the options as I see them:
1. If there is an entity whose full and correct name is the Manx pound then the article should be thus titled and the introductory definition should read "The Manx pound is...."
2. If there isn't an entity whose full and correct name is the Manx pound, but this article is simply about the use of the pound in the Isle of Man, then the article should be titled Pound (Isle of Man), or perhaps Isle of Man currency, or whatever seems best.
The combination of article title Manx pound and introductory definition "The pound is ..." does not work. The definition does not actually define what the article purports to be about. Matt 14:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't realise when I wrote the above that this style convention is an issue across many currency articles, not just this one. I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics#Odd definition style, so if anyone has any comments it would probably be better to make them there to keep it all together.

replies: text: Thanks for showing the link to the banknote scan. There certainly appears to be a character dressed out of historical context and with a cheeky pose on the extreme left.

message: The 2017 Manx pound coin differs from the description of the older decimal coins given in the article. The edge is fully milled and the Queen's portrait is a different design, including a necklace. It is, of course, round and not bimetallic.
