Within a category, should currencies (e.g., United States dollar) be alphabetized by country name or by denomination? I personally don't care, but we should be consistent. Mom2jandk 21:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I've struggled with whether to call it "Currency of Poland" or "Currencies of Poland". If there has only been one currency, it seems like it should be Currency, but if another is added, that would require changing the category. So, I'm currently leaning towards all being "Currencies of X" (as shown in the current category structure proposal), but would welcome others' ideas. Ingrid 17:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm thinking of starting to recategorize articles which go under Category:Legal tender in the new structure. There are so many of them, it's not practical to put the {{ NumismaticCategories}} template on each one first. I've put it on most of the articles that have been recently edited, and plan to continue that for awhile before making any changes. Anyway, if you have thoughts or concerns about this part of the proposal, please speak up. Ingrid 02:23, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
The word euro is not a proper noun. It should not be capitalized. However, perhaps it is appropriate to capitalize it in a title or heading. Thoughts? Markkawika 22:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
It is normal practice for numismatists to start the name of a currency unit with a capital letter - eg; Rand & Rhodesian Dollar. - ( Aidan Work 03:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC))
Why is this - " Category:Historical currencies of the United States. Deleted. This is redundant because of the labelling categories." ? I did something to Coins of Virginia(put into historical currencies) and it seemed a good idea to make a Category:Colonial American coinage, but since you said Category:Historical currencies of the United States should be deleted, I wanted to bring it up to you. Or maybe we could do simply an article Colonial American coinage. Joe I 00:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Primitive currency should not be subordinated to Ancients. It was by no means limited to that timeframe. Indeed, up through the 18th-19th centuries, most of Africa used "primitive currencies" until they were gradually displaced by coinage supplied by the colonial powers. It should be elevated to the same level as "Community currencies" and "Exonumia". Askari Mark | Talk 18:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
At the same level as Category:Official currencies, there should be a category Category: Emergency currencies and Notgeld. There is a large range of such circulating unofficial currencies: Notgeld, guerrilla money, encased postage stamps, siege money, POW camp currency, etc. Askari Mark | Talk 19:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
