Template talk:Thaler

What to include
I left out the tolar and tala one this but added rixdalars and dalars, so, dont know which way is best. I don't think Thalers alone would take some out of the dollar one to shorten it. I was thinkin a Dollar varient instead. Jo e  I  13:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed the dalers because I feel that they should belong to one nav box to avoid confusion. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 09:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

"thalers" pre-1800 (and in most cases, pre-1871) are not "a currency", they are a type of silver coin. If there was any standard "currency" in which the value of other coins was expressed, this would have been the shilling. A "thaler" is simply a large silver coin worth a set amount of shillings (depending on time and place e.g. 48 shilling, or 72 shilling).

The concept of a named "currency" emerges ca. 1790 at the earliest (Coinage Act of 1792, loi sur l'Instruction publique du 18 germinal an III [7 April 1795] ). --dab (𒁳) 10:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
