Any objections to changing the word "Penny" to "Cent"?? It makes the template look somewhat less British. The word "penny" is officially a British word; the official name of the U.S. coin is "cent". "Penny" is just a nickname; the official U.S. government does not use it. I want at least 10 registered Wikipedians to respond within the next week. 66.245.8.15 01:22, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

OK, if "nickel" is on official website, and numeric value is also given, then I give. -- ChoChoPK (球球PK) ( talk | contrib) 02:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
When this discussion is over, please think about applying to Template:Canadian currency and coinage and Template:AUD. Consistency is important. -- ChoChoPK (球球PK) ( talk | contrib) 18:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Why are United States notes included, but not silver certificates? -- Seitz 05:39, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
United States Notes are still currently an official currency of the U.S., silver certificates are not. -- Kurthalomieu J. McCool 06:54, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

ALL U.S. currency is still legal tender at its face value, and silver certificate do not "circulate". However, there may be fluke instances of someone spending one. -- Kurt 00:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't think it's appropriate to use currency to mean only banknotes, since coins are currency also. I propose changing the title to "United States currency", changing the heading which is now "currency" to "banknotes" (or "paper money", but the categories use banknotes), and changing the other heading from "coinage" to "coins" (unless someone can explain to me why coinage is more appropriate -- it sounds wrong to me because we're not talking about coinage in general, but specific coins, but I also think the word "coinage" generally sounds pretentious, so maybe I'm biased). Any objections to the changes? Ingrid 17:31, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Clearly I was WP:BOLD with the formatting changes I made to the template, so I wanted to leave a note here as a common spot for feedback/discussion. Thx. — MrDolomite | Talk 20:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
The last link, text "Obsolete denominations", links to Template:Obsolete_U.S._currency_and_coinage. In a brief search, I couldn't actually find an article on obsolete denominations - perhaps there should be one - but it doesn't seem useful to have a template linked to in place of an article. As I'm not aware of an appropriate article, am not about to create one, and don't know what an appropriate replacement link would be, I'll leave that to someone who is aware/will create one/does know one. :) - Somnior 21:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I removed the link to the $50 American Gold Buffalo, and the link that said it was to a $10 coin, but actually linked to the First Spouse dollars. As of now it has all coins minted for actual circulation. If this list is to include every denomination of bullion minted, it would have to include the $5, $10, $25, and $50 Gold Eagles, the $50 Gold Buffalo, the $10, $25, $50, and $100 Platinum Eagles, and possibly more that I have forgotten.

I propose that we add a line for Bullion coins since they are "coinage" as in the title of this template. It would look something like this:
If no objections, I'll go ahead with it. — Diiscool ( talk) 00:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
A few weeks ago, Purplebackpack89 changed the color of this template (see the old version here. I liked the idea but not necessarily the outcome. Then, 80.163.68.22 changed the template back to the way it was, standard colors.
I have tweaked the color changing idea a little bit and added the US flag. I would be interested in any comments or ideas people have about this.
Thanks — Diiscool ( talk) 23:56, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
