This unsourced stub is about the "currency" of one of those joke micronations so insignificant that it consists of the location of two sculptures and boasts of having no actual residents; odds are long that not even any fake currency has ever been minted. At the best this deserves no more than a Merge and Delete. Non-notable, fails WP:ATT, WP:BULLSHIT. Yay for "random article." (Mind you, I can get behind a micronation with an official "Ministry of Duct Tape and High Voltage") RGTraynor 13:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ladonia (micronation), the micronation in question. I'm not really sure about what the inclusion criteria are for micronations, but it seems sourced enough and we have the article - may as well redirect there.  A r k y a n  &#149; (talk) 15:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Oh, I certainly don't propose scrapping the Ladonia article; this certainly looks at first glance to be the sort of dispute that would attract a good bit of media attention. RGTraynor 16:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: "Joke micronation"? I don't find this substantial reason to delete an article. I wrote the stub on the currency; the value is from a financial page, though I no longer recall which. I agree that the currency may redirect to a section in the Ladonia (micronation) page, but deleting the reference altogether is a shame. Your personal opinion on the matter is irrelevant, RGTraynor. The micronation exists, the currency is official, end of story. Stimpy 01:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
