Talk:List of circulating currencies

message: Can there be a version of this list that shows a list of currencies and what countries use them rather than a list showing countries and what currency they use? 64.218.107.47 (talk) 00:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  List by currency, not country 

message: Note D groups Mils with Dime which can be misleading. I initially interpreted note D as meaning Zimbabwe had subdivided US$ into 1000 mils since unofficially adopting that currency. Adding that 10 cents is Dime in USA is both irrelevant and confusing to the note and the whole article. Many countries have names for various of their coins.

replies: text: I don't think it's confusing, but how do you think it should be changed? – Zntrip 02:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Hi Zntrip. I notice the whole layout has been completely changed since my original comments. Other notes have been added giving individual examples of mils and any fractional units divided further into 10 mils. Obviously my previous comments did not relate to this revised layout. 
Note D now only appears against countries which use the US dollar so why retain the reference to mils? Tiddy (talk) 02:42, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

So, do we want the table to be sortable, and what was the problem?--Mátyás (talk) 10:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the problem is that for some countries there are multiple currencies (i.e. there's a rowspan="2" for the first column which messes up the second table when it's sorted). I'm not too sure how to fix it, but I would imagine that it's possible. It would be nice for the table to be sortable. – Zntrip 19:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  List non-sovereign entities under sovereign countries 

message: A general title of "List of circulating currencies." is clearly inaccurate. To claim it is, is not neutral. Now, this is a list of circulating currencies within national/sovereign borders. The title should reflect that, thus the change to "List of circulating currencies by country". 
The consensus is Wikipedia needs to be a neutral, objective place.--HowardStrong (talk) 23:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I object to this move. No discussion has been made about it, nor has requested moves been used. I also disagree with the reasoning. It is entirely reasonable to exclude private scrip under the original title, as private scrips are not part of the common definition of the word "currency". Furthermore, several examples on this list are not countries, therefore, the current title is misleading. Therefore, I am moving this article back. If you want it moved, use our requested moves procedure. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: One suggestion on the AFD page I saw some consensus for was to add exchange information as one or more additional columns on this article.

Breadblade (talk) 21:54, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The biggest problem, as you pointed out, is that there would be no practical way to keep that information up to date.

I think a simpler solution would be to have a link or two in the external link section to currency conversion sites. – Zntrip 02:36, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

text: Agree with Zntrip and Kahastok. The only viable and relevant suggestion at the AfD was to just make a short mention that the Kuwaiti dinar trades for more currency units than any other unit (this isn't exactly true, the Kuwaiti dinar is subdivided into 1000 units rather than a hundred, so it's "sort of" like comparing the 10 $ bill to the dinar). I left a note in the article to that effect but removed the table overall. More generally an encyclopedia shouldn't be in business of providing information on volatile and ever changing prices. We don't have lists of stock market quotes, and there's no reason to have the prices of currencies either. Volunteer Marek  05:04, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

text: 2Awwsome, my opposition to the inclusion of the information is that it is outside of the scope of the list. This article is a list of currencies that are currently circulated as legal tender. Information about the relative value of currencies is outside the scope of the list and is not easy to maintain. Can you make a case as to why it should be included?

message: Zntrip, this is my first time on what seems "your" page.
I came here, since you changed the category classification on Bitcoin,with the edit summary: "Category:Circulating currencies contains only state-issued currencies". I dont see this piece of wisdom on your List of circulating currencies page.
My feedback :
*Add a (sourced) definition of "circulating currencies", i.e. as to what goes on this page.  
*When you say 'current', you need to insert "".  
*It s obvious, that virtual currencies are left out, here. It would help if you stated why.
Otherwise, you ought to expect reactions to your classification decision like "declared reason is completely irrelevant" from Ladislav.

Ladislav Mecir (talk) 19:19, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are being too precise to the point of absurdity. The definition of any noun is usually articulated in such a way as to apply to a current state of existence. For example, a common definition of "person" is "a living human" and a common definition of "car" is "a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transporting passengers". It would not be a pleonasm to say "living person" or "working car", just as it would not be a pleonasm to say "circulating currency". – Zntrip 19:34, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: For example, a common definition of "person" is "a living human" - have to disagree. "Person" is defined as "human being". As opposed to that, "currency" is defined as "money ... when in actual use...", so there is a difference. I think that the accuracy of the article is lamentable, taking into account all the problems discussed. Wikipedia editors are not supposed to use new, unpublished terminology like "unit of exchange" (any citation?), "circulating currency" (any citation?), write whatever comes to mind like "de facto currency is legal tender", or write unpublished definitions like "we define circulating currency as legal tender" (which source?). I must also note that I did not read more than a couple of sentences, but my findings convince me that the accuracy of the article is not based on reliable sources.

ISTM that a reasonable reader could well conclude that we are only listing currency that exists physically, namely coins and notes.

The symbol uses  Unicode character. Before its adoption, the most commonly used symbols for the rupee were Rs, Re or, if the text was in an Indian language, an appropriate abbreviation in that language.

message: ::Answered for Kazakhstani tenge at Teahouse.
The table gives лв as the symbol for  the Kazakhstan tenge as well as for the Bulgarian lev. I consider the first  suspicious. лв consists of the Cyrillic letters "lv", neither of which is in the word "som" сом ; but it is the symbol for the Bulgarian lev, лев. 
Here are some online references for лв as the symbol for one or both of these:
*  (som)
*  (both)
*   (both)
On the other hand, there are these (I've bolded all the Cyrillic and nothing else):
* The official currency in Kyrgyzstan is the som (sometimes written as сом or abbreviated as с in Cyrillic). 
* Hmm, even on the national bank website, I don't see the symbol [лв] being used. I guessed at   being a Kyrgyzstani store, and lo and behold it is a store of sorts. One of the sites it links to actually uses сом for the symbol (the name of the currency in Kyrgyz), so I'm just going to go with that for now unless we can find a use with a symbol.

message: The lede says 180. Just now I sorted the table by name of currency and counted the different entries, ignoring the "(none)"s, and got 191.
Now of course it's easy to be off by a couple or three in counting a list on the order of 200, but I would swear that I wasn't off by eleven. I counted the footnoted ones and the ones that weren't linked. Maybe that made a difference, but there's nothing about it in the text. This needs to be clarified and corrected. --71.175.165.99 (talk) 07:24, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I just did my own count and got 180. Remember that there are a few currencies repeated only twice, like for India/Nepal, Singapore/Brunei (x2), Israel/Palestine, everything bordering Western Sahara, etc. – Zntrip 23:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I will correct its fractional unit to (none) right away. We have stopped using "hào", "xu" or any fractional units since 1985. Centaur271188 (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, that doesn't seem to be in keeping with the practice on this page. Other discontinued fractional units are also listed on this article, for example, Japanese sen and Swedish öre. Then again, I wonder if it really makes sense to include any of these, at least not without a note saying something like "no longer in use". Heimstern Läufer (talk) 10:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since this article is about circulating currencies, I prefer to describe their current conditions. We can say something about those fractional units in articles like List of historical currencies, Japanese yen or Swedish krona. Just suggesting :) Centaur271188 (talk) 19:08, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Why is "Akrotiri and Dhekelia" included if it uses the Euro? I can understand Andorra, I guess, since it's part of the UN, but why Akrotiri and Dhekelia or Bonaire? Did they have some sort of currency before that doesn't circulate but is related somehow? Cornelius (talk) 17:58, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: The list doesn't say anything about banknotes. The "100" refers to how many fractional units (i.e. cents) there are to the primary unit (i.e. the dollar). – Zntrip 02:42, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
