Column ordering

In specification tables, should the "image first, then denomination" apply in cases where there is no image but a link? I reckon not, as the denomination does not stand out as the most important written piece of information. See Moldovan leu for an example

I can see your rationale. But what about consistency? What about Antarctican dollar where there is one image, and others are links? I'm open to suggestions. But from time to time I find it disappointing that many Wikipedians like to suggest things and not take any effort to implement it thoroughly. I am sure you're not one of those, as you are constantly expanding articles. Enough of my rant. I actually have thought about bolding denominations. What do you think? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Luckily, there are less than 50 that transclude {{Standard banknote table notice}} and {{Standard coin table notice}} each. I have been keeping track at User:Chochopk/Currency article status. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Other examples include Mongolian tugrug, Japanese yen. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 02:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Proposed catalogue numbers

(moved from subject space by ChoChoPK)

If you know the catalogue numbers ('KM', 'KMTn', and 'X' (from the Krause catalogues) for coins, 'P', 'PM', and 'PS' (from the Pick catalogues) for banknotes) please include these in the articles. If there are other catalogue numbers, please add these as cross-references. Include the catalogue details in the 'Reference' section at the bottom of each article. Other catalogues that are commonly used are Spink's and Coincraft's catalogues for British Isles coins. Sear numbers are derived from Roman Coins and their Values by David R. Sear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.72.148 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 24 March 2007

Where would you include the article? What about the standard table? How many currencies can you initially implement? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 03:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

style guideline?

I don't have any preference, but it would be nice to have some consistency in which pages move into the "Wikipedia style guidelines" category. This page has seen very little action on either the page itself or the talk page over the last year, which suggests that if you keep it inside your Wikiproject, everyone who's interested in the material will see it. Any objections to leaving this page out of the "Wikipedia style guidelines" category? - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 15:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate self-reference?

Is the clause used by Template:Standard banknote table notice and Template:Standard coin table notice that mentions the "Wikipedia standard" an inappropriate self-reference per WP:SELF? Ntsimp (talk) 23:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I think you're right. It should read "These images are to scale at size mm. For table standards, see the banknote specification table." Just removing the part about it being anykind of standard should be adequate. Thanks. Joe I

Bimetallic coins

Hello. Could anyone make an example of a bimetallic coin using the table in this article? Thanks in advance Mvllez 193.33.2.101 (talk) 09:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Scale

x pixels per millmeter is not a valid scale because the dot pitch of the reader's screen is unknown. It is enough to say they are to scale. The reader can use the diameter specified for any one coin to figure out what scale applies corresponding to their screen. -- Sqgl (talk | contrib) 13:26, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Mintage

Where should I put in the table the number of coins that have been minted? bogdan (talk) 12:01, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

About banknotes

I've got three questions:

1) Why all the banknotes should be on the black background(as coins)?

2) What to do with the two columns of the averse and reverse of the picture if I have a picture with averse and reverse at once(these are inseparable)?

3) Why should the recommended scale be 0.7 pixels per millimeter? I dealt with a 10 grosz bilet zdawkowy which had dimensions 68x42 mm. It looks then so tiny so it doesn't even make sense to put the photo of these banknotes. I think the optimal scale is 1 pixel per mm< which is OK for the smaller banknotes.

Also I'd like to know whether there exists some kind of software on Wikipedia that allows to scale all the pictures in the table on a given scale(e.g. 1.2 px/mm) by analyzing the length and/or width of the banknote(or the diameter of the coin) given in the column with a title "Size"? That would look like:

Scale: 1.4 pixels/mm

For: Banknote

Analyze by:

• Length
• Width
• Both

or

For: Coin(then it analyzes by the diameter given) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ukraroad (talk • contribs) 13:03, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
