Talk:Denomination (currency)

Japanese currency comment
True or false: Japanese currency is well-known enough in the United States for the denominations to have articles in Wikipedia, (If false, why do we need articles for them here?? This is the English Wikipedia, and the most populous English-speaking country is the United States. Why can't you put denominations for Japanese currency on the Japanese version of Wikipedia??) 66.245.69.176 23:00, 4 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Because wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, meaning contents are written in English and the scope of contents is not limited to English-related stuff. -- Taku 23:05, May 4, 2004 (UTC)

Naming Japanese Currency
Is Japanese currency referred to commonly as bills or banknotes?? 66.32.66.181 14:35, 16 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Since Japanese speak Japanese, we cannot be sure which one is more common. Bills are commonly known as shihei in Japanese. -- Taku 19:42, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

False friend

"Denominacja" means "redenomination" only. Barry Kent 22:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite
Hey, so far I can tell, not to shabby. If you're using sources, please add those now as inline refs, so much easier. And there are a few places I saw with only one sentance of explaination and three or four of examples. If you can expand the explanation alittle, so many examples may not be needed. But thats not a big deal. Jo e  I  08:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * All data can be found on wiki articles where I included a link. Well... I'm not good with words. I'm better at data organization, table, graph, and chart. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 09:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Redenomination
There's big difference between denomination and re-denomination...

Redenomination / Remonetisation
There is a new article (since 2/1/08) Remonetisation, which covers the same ground as the Redenomination section of this article. I suggest the two be merged somehow, with suitable re-directs so both terms direct to the same place. TiffaF (talk) 08:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree and suggest putting in a merger template into Remonetisation and Redenomination straight away. Karl (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * An alternative would be to rename the Remonetisation page to something like List of Redenominations. The table in this page would then merely to show a few examples, while there would be a link to the list for a comprehensive table. Karl (talk) 10:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

On our use talk pages, the author User:Tabletop of Remonetisation said that he/she is happy with merging and also suggested redirecting Remonetisation, but this redirection would be incorrect, because remonetisation means something else. All links to the remonetisation article need correcting. Karl (talk) 10:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Decimal / Non-Decimal
It's surely a matter of opinion whether decimal or non-decimal currencies are best. I've tagged this section with a citation needed marker. Rojomoke (talk) 16:25, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Redenomination of Mexican peso.
The list of countries with redenomination currency may include the Mexican New Peso of 1993. $1000 "pesos" became N$1 "nuevos pesos" during a transitional period after which the currency was to be called "pesos" again. Sources needed. 201.132.202.7 (talk) 09:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Unusual denominations - 15 kopek...
I've previously posted the following at talk:Coin, but perhaps this is where it belongs:--Nø (talk) 16:21, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Typical denominations for coins (and banknotes) are 1, 2, 5 and 25 units (cents, rubles or whatever), and any of these multiplied by a power of 10. But the article Coin mentions a Bahamian 15 cents coin, and I recall from a visit to the Soviet Union in 1989 that 3 and 15 were common denominations then and there. I wonder, could anyone find sources and add info on such unusual denominations - be it multiples of 3 or otherwise?--Nø (talk) 9:59 pm, 3 October 2011, Monday (UTC+2)
 * I still think this would be worth a mention; I also stumbled across this: Threepence (New Zealand coin). But unfortunately I have no source discussing not merely indiviual examples but the phenomenon as such. ??15:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Multiple subunits
The article currently claims that the Hong Kong dollar has multiple subunits which I'm pretty sure is wrong, it's just dollars and cents. Am I wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Practisevoodoo (talk • contribs) 16:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
