690:! However, there were some problems with the text you changed from bold to italic. Although bold text is used to indicate the current page of a template, it is also used for template heading titles along with the vertically stacked subheading titles. I do think it was a good idea to change "United States currency " to simply currency and coinage. I'm not sure what the Knowledge (XXG) policy of using abreviations in templates is, though. --

374:"Nickel" is not the official name for the five-cent coin. I agree that the US Mint website uses the term here and there (as your example shows), but they also use the term "Penny" in places, and that isn't the official name of a coin either. The names of these coins have all been defined by Congress in 31 USC 5112

Any objections to the changes?

Hi EdC, I don't agree to the use of "Nickel" and "Penny", but more on that later. I did notice in my edit yesterday that "5ยข" and "10ยข", and I did overwrite them, but part of that was the lack of consistency. If we want to provide numeric values, why not "25ยข" for quarter dollar (and so on). I'll

The last link, text "Obsolete denominations", links to

I see your points. I realize that "banknote" is not widely used in the US, but I hadn't realized that "currency" was used among collectors. Perhaps we could use "paper money"? I would really like to find an alternative to "currency", since using it implies that coins are not currency, but I guess I

I don't think it's appropriate to use currency to mean only banknotes, since coins are currency also. I propose changing the title to "United States currency", changing the heading which is now "currency" to "banknotes" (or "paper money", but the categories use banknotes), and changing the other

WP:CN shoots a pretty big hole in this argument, though, regardless of what
Congress says. Also, the Mint is *very* consistent in their use of "nickel" to refer to five-cent coins other than half-dimes; they are far less enthusiastic in their use of "penny" and, in fact, are fairly consistent in

The word "banknote" not being common (which I think I also read on an article on here) in
American lexicon is no coincidence. The last actual "banknotes" that were issued through the U.S. gov't. were the National Bank Notes of Series 1929. Although the Federal Reserve is a bank, it is not

Any objections to changing the word "Penny" to "Cent"?? It makes the template look somewhat less

American and a world coin collector, I was surprised when I found out that coins were currency. And on a related note, it sounds like the categories need to be changed from banknotes to "paper money".

Well, consistency can be taken too far. I doubt many readers will have trouble working out that a quarter of a decimal-denominated currency is 25 of the smaller unit, whereas "nickel" and "dime" are meaningless to non-US readers.
