Talk:Dutch rijksdaalder

Untitled
Daalder is not a nickname for the 1.5 guilder coin. A daalder was 1.5 Guilders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.117.24.161 (talk) 21:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Translation of the word "rijksdaalder"
Currently, "rijksdaalder" is translated as "national dollar". While the daalder - dollar part is a perfect translation, translating "rijks" to "national" is not so great. "Rijks" means of the "rijk" (genitive), and "rijk" is generally translated as "realm" ( e.g. http://en.bab.la/dictionary/dutch-english/rijk and the reverse http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-dutch/realm ). A more semantically accurate translation would therefore be "dollar of the realm", especially taking into account the corresponding English phrase "coin of the realm". If there are no objections, I would like to make this change. 82.176.221.176 (talk) 12:34, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
