Talk:1 sen coin

One sen or merely sen?
Since the sen was minted as 5-sen and 10-sen as well as one-sen denominations, wouldn’t it make more sense to publish this article as “sen” or “sen coinage”? Kortoso (talk) 12:31, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The answer is a bit complex as the Japanese "sen" was a denomination AND unit of currency. Unlike its current circulating counterparts the Japanese "sen" is not etymologically related to the word "cent". Renaming this article to "sen" as the primary usage in the world would be misleading as "sen" is most commonly used to describe several different currencies. "Sen coinage" would again imply multiple currencies that use "sen". A possible solution is to create an article titled Japanese sen, but doing so would imply all of the "sen coinage" rather than just the one sen unit. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:45, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
