Talk:Palestine pound/Archive 1

א"י
Yes, these characters do appear at the end of the word Palestine. It may just be my browser but they currently appear at the begining of the name in the infobox. Also, what do they mean? They also appear after Palestine on the coins but I've never seen any translation or explanation. Dove1950 22:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Amazing what you can find in Wikipedia. The answer is in Land of Israel. Now we just need to sort out the letter ordering, which works fine in the main text but messes up in the infobox. I guess it's the brackets? Dove1950 22:09, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe it has to do with IE not displaying mixture of right-to-left language and L2R language together. It looks fine on Firefox (although I have no idea what it says). --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

lira as the common Arabic and Hebrew name for the Palestine pound
Finding a proper reference to the above statement isn't so easy. The best is to show frontpages of newspapers published in Arabic and Hebrew at that time, but these are still copyrighted. For the time being, I have found this article in Hebrew by Haim Arlosoroff, in which he quotes prices in lirot Eretz-Yisraeliot (i.e. Palestine pounds), mils and lirot shterling (i.e. pound sterling).

 * This article: Jordanian dinar replaced Palestine pound in 1946
 * Jordanian dinar: 1949

Re-insert Diaries of Wasif Jawhariyyeh quote
I reinserted quote from Diaries of Wasif Jawhariyyeh, which was removed in 2015, with the more accurate details of Hebrew inscription for Alef Yud above it. The quote adds to the article nice coloring of currency technicalities and sense of the historical atmosphere.

1917 coin
I have a Palestinian 10 milliemes but its from before 1927 its actually from 1917 why is this not listed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.165.25.124 (talk) 09:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Does it actually say "Palestine" on it? It could be an Egyptian 10 milliemes coin, which was used in Palestine from the British occupation. Zerotalk 11:10, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
