China
The Chinese Yuan is effectively pegged to the US Dollar. Please update. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.226.32.48 (talk) 02:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it appears that China should be colored pale yellow, since the yuan is at 6.83 per USD, plus or minus about 0.01 yuan, since July 2008 (as it says in the article and can be verified on any website providing currency exchange graphs over time). BGManofID (talk) 04:34, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hong Kong and Macau have linked exchange rates, and should be yellow, too. Calbaer (talk) 22:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I cannot believe no one has updated the second largest economy in the world. Good lord. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.64.110.158 (talk) 03:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Light colors
I think the light colors are too light. They almost disappear on grey. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (&lt; \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 15:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I can see how that could be a problem for some people, but I have an even bigger issue with it. I'm partly colorblind, and I have a really hard time telling the colors apart (which is unfortunately very common with maps like this on Wikipedia compared to elsewhere).  I can tell the light colors apart from the dark colors, and I can tell the green dollar colors apart from the blue euro colors, but I can only distinguish "United States" and "currencies pegged to the US dollar" with some effort, and I can't tell "Eurozone" and "currencies pegged to the euro" apart no matter how hard I try, for example (likewise with the light pairs).  I don't know enough about color theory/vision to be able to suggest something that would be more easily readable with all flavors of colorblindness while still being aesthetically pleasing to "normal" vision, though.  66.92.71.152 (talk) 16:52, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * These colours are terrible - just terrible. I'm also partially colourblind, and all i see are "blue" and "green" on this map.  This could really be done better, i think. :/ phrawzty (talk) 10:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Belarus???
I'm not sure that the Belarussian ruble is pegged to the dollar... :) :) Someone make a nice joke. Maybe a Belarussian can be more precise, but I didn't find such information in the page about Belarus' economy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.156.91.72 (talk) 22:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It seems to be related to this story and this post seems to indicate that it is tied to the US currency but not completely fixed to it. This page seems to indicate something of the sort as well (see the entry for 31st Jan 2008). 83.89.43.14 (talk) 13:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure that the Belarussian ruble is NOT pegged to the dollar, and to the euro too. I live in Belarus and I'm sure. for Exaple before 1Th of January 2009 1 USD = 2150 BRB aproximatly, after New Year 1USD = 2750 BYR aproximatly. Belorussian ruble chenges it's walue to euro too. Someone make a nice joke. PS. sorry for my English —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.57.246.70 (talk) 14:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Iceland
The Icelandic Krona is no longer pegged to the euro, as the Icelandic central bank could not sustain it.

Please update the map accordingly. Thewikipedian (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Misleading
What exactly is meant by pegged within a narrow band? Most currencies are managed floats, pegged within a narrow band and typically to the U.S. dollar. Yuan for example. 67.161.20.87 (talk) 06:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In Denmark, the Danish Krone is pegged to the Euro with a 2,25% band, which means that the krone can 'float' between these two borders. If for instance there are 7 kroner to a Euro, the krone can float between a value of 6.85 and 7.14 (if I calculated correctly in my head) kroner for a Euro. Now if the Danish krone gains/reduces in value close to these borders, the Danish government get a new peg (say... 7.11) which then becomes the base. Btw. Denmark isn't marked on the map AFAICT.

 * Between 2010, and 2018, it looks like variation was between €7.4303 and €7.4717 fxtop Graph which makes a (max-min)/min=0.55% while for RMB/USD it is (max-min)/min=15%.
 * The definition of the narrow band in the context of the euro might be given by: Agreement of 16 March 2006 between the European Central Bank and the national central banks of the Member States outside the euro area laying down the operating procedures for an exchange rate mechanism in stage three of Economic and Monetary Union available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=celex:32006X0325%2801%29 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.193.103.134 (talk) 16:26, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As a summary: «The standard fluctuation band is ±15%, but a narrower band may be agreed on request.» . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.193.103.134 (talk) 16:29, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Zimbabwe
According to Zimbabwe Dollar Zimbabwe underwent dollarization in February 2009, allegedly both the US dollar and the rand are used in everyday life now, while the ZWD has disappeared due to hyperinflation. Does anyone know whether this is official or semiofficial dollarization, and wouldn't Zimbabwe have to be included in the map now?--Kiffahh (talk) 17:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Denmark
Denmark should be drawn as narrow band pegged, as per the main article text.--Per Abrahamsen (talk) 11:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Cambodia
Shouldn't Cambodia be coloured light green? Certainly, they have their own currency, the riel. But even the locals prefer not using the riel, since it's not very stable. Instead, the USD is at least equally common and used in any kind of business transaction, even the most colloquial. Most store owners and street vendors prefer payment in USD or Thai baht (in the western part of the country), but giving change in riel. In one sense, the USD can be said to be almost more official than the riel: In the few ATM's there are in the country, you get dollars and not riels. Yenx (talk) 02:52, 13 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Additionally, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_riel says it's pegged. This map should definitely be updated. 41.215.221.232 (talk) 21:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
