If the following places are not part of North America, where are they please: Bermuda; Clipperton; Greenland; Guadeloupe; Martinique; St Pierre & Miquelon? -- Hors-la-loi ( talk) 09:09, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Greenland page includes this sentence: Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and later Denmark) for more than a millennium. The line between North America and South America appears to run very close to the South American continent, because all the Caribbean islands are shown on the North America page (even Trinidad & Tobago, which lies just off the South American coast!). Curaçao is listed in the North America page. Prisoner of Zenda ( talk) 02:13, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Just wondering if horizontal alignment would improve the look and readability of the table. For example, Panama has two currencies: the Panamanian balboa and the US dollar. If these were to be on separate lines, the next column (Currency sign) would not need "(Panamanian balboa)" after "B/." and "(United States dollar)" after "$" because it would be evident to the reader that "B/." and "$" (also being on separate lines) refer to the Panamanian balboa and the US dollar respectively, as would "Centésimo" and "Cent".
The same would apply to Cuba, where the Cuban peso and the Cuban convertible peso would be on separate lines, as would "CUC$" and "₱", and "Cent" and "Centavo". Footnotes [22] and [23] seem to refer to both currencies, so it may be necessary to show both for each currency. Prisoner of Zenda ( talk) 00:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, Matty. Would you be happy to delete the "(United States dollar)" after "cent" in the Fractional unit column for Panama? Or did you retain it for some specific reason? Prisoner of Zenda ( talk) 02:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
The currency of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is the euro although the Canadian dollar is also accepted. So that makes 19! -- Ipigott ( talk) 07:58, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
OK, I've just read your comment stating that the list is limited to sovereign states - but that is certainly not clear from the title. Maybe it should be changed to List of currencies in the sovereign states of North America?-- Ipigott ( talk) 09:05, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
I think St Pierre and Miquelon and the euro should be added; the article lists other non-sovereign territories and their currencies. Varnebank ( talk) 17:33, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Please respond to these replies. Thanks, Mat ty. 007 15:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
In para 2 of the preamble are the sentences " ... the world's need for United States dollars has led to Americans, and the American government, being able to borrow at lower costs. The resulting economic value to the U.S. is calculated at over $100 billion annually." It appears that "U.S." and "America" are used interchangeably - but that's incorrect, as there are many sovereign states in "[North] America" (the subject of this article). Should the first sentence therefore be " ... the world's need for United States dollars has led to the United States government, and its citizens, being able to borrow at lower costs."? Prisoner of Zenda ( talk) 11:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Visual presentation would be greatly enhanced if the column widths in the second and third tables matched those in the first table. Can this be done? Prisoner of Zenda ( talk) 09:06, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
