Use of $ links edit
Some pages link the currency symbol of a monetary figure to its currency. I find this distracting as monetary figures are extremely common topics and most readers are likely to be familiar with virtually all common units of money that will appear in articles they are reading. I think it unlikely that many readers would really follow a link written as a symbol, e.g. $12M. Conversely, readers will not unfamiliar with a truly foreign monetary value would be unable to determine what currency is intended without a difficult search. Perhaps a compromise of only linking international banking abbreviations (e.g., USD, GBP, or YEN) would suffice to clearly state the unit of currency without cluttering the article with distracting symbol links.
Please let me know if I'm overlooking a wikipedia policy on this sort of thing. Or drop a line if you have any opinions.
money supply edit
I have update the graph with data up to Oct. The legend background is now a light grey. The x-axis is now incorrect and will be corrected in the next version. Carbonate 03:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Cintrom! Congrats on your Graph for Economy of the USA. I used it to a college paper, if you don't mind :). Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.143.120.69 (talk) 18:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
