[edit] Appearance

What is this comment based on?

The LAK's appearance is much closer to the U.S. dollar rather than other currencies of Southeast Asia

I have some kip banknotes and eg. the 5000K note is small, white and brown, with nothing at all in common with the US dollar notes as far as I can see. Jpatokal 05:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Kip

This section states that the Royal Kip was introduced in 1957, but then says the only year of issue for the coins was 1952. Is this an error, or were the coins actually piastre cents? Nik42 18:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ₭N vs KN

Officially this is the new kip, hence the N in KN or ₭N. I don't have any evidence as regards whether people write ₭, ₭N or even KN, however. Someone who knows would be welcome to edit the article as necessary I'm sure.--Ajhoughton 16:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
