Talk:Pound sterling

Names
The article states: ""Sterling" is the name of the currency as a whole while "pound" and "penny" are the units of account. This is analogous to the distinction between "renminbi" and "yuan" when discussing the official currency of the People's Republic of China." This assertion is incorrect: "renminbi" and "yuan" are interchangeable terms for the currency of the People's Republic of China. Renmimbi is the official name for the currency, yuan is more of a colloquialism. Source: myself, having lived and worked in China. I recommend the article is corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.234.105 (talk) 09:07, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid we will need a more reliable source than your personal experience of common usage: it would have to be a professional analysis. If you can find such, then please come back because there is a whole section on terminology at the Renminbi article that needs supporting (or denying!) evidence. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:09, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Smol Edit Req
in change the target of the link "decimalisation in 1971" from £sd to £sd (notice the "s" has been removed). That's all. 99.146.242.37 (talk) 06:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Banknotes are not "paper money"
that subsection title is misleading. see here: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/museum/online-collections/banknotes/early-banknotes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.10.47.246 (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Paper money redirects to banknote but it hardly makes sense to use the tabloid-ish alias rather than the real thing, so I have changed it accordingly. Come back if that is not what you had in mind. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:47, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
