[edit] copyright on banknotes

i saw the remarks on the copyright concerns.

heres my thoughts: i own the bills i have posted pictures for. i took the pictures myself. the country they were issued by is no longer an institution. i value them for their artistic beauty. many times people take pictures of coinage, however, this issue is not brought up.

what are your thoughts? --Aryibcki 00:32, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] succession box

I tried to follow the style guide from the Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style. I filled in some of the "none"s since even though the country didn't exist before/after in some cases, the people used some form of money, and that's the purpose of the succession box. If you want to switch back from Euro to Deutsche Mark again, please explain why (FRY says that Serbia uses the dinar and Montenegro uses the Euro). I got the date of 1918 from Kingdom of Yugoslavia; if that's not right for the use of the dinar, please explain why. Also, I assumed that Yugoslavia was occupied by Germany and using Reichsmarks, but am not certain. Feel free to fix that if I'm wrong. Mom2jandk 21:42, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Hm. You just entered the hell of Balcans... The verb to asume is a no-no here, because you cannot assume anything about such a crazy region :-) To get the record straight - I think that succession boxes don't have any sence here. The successions of this area are so complicated that succession boxes are inapropriate. Now lets go to the details. On November 6, 1999 Montenegro decided that besides Yugoslavian dinar, official currency is Deutche Mark. When Germany addopted Euro, Montenegro did that too, so now currencies were Dinar and Euro. In 2001, Montenegro decided to abbandon Dinar and now uses only Euro. Then, Yugoslavia didn't exist prior to 1929, it was called Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes 1918(or is it 1919?)-1929, so Yugoslav Dinar didn't exist too. And finally, Yugoslavia was occupated by Germany, but some parts of Yugoslavia were a) anexed by Germany, b) anexed by Italy, c) anexed by Hungary, d) anexed by some more countries, but I'm not sure which (Bulgaria is a safe bet I think) e) used to create Independent State of Croatia f) used to create Serbia, and I'm not sure what was the legal status of Serbia. Therefore you don't want to write down every single currency that succedeed Yugoslav dinar in 1941 because it is damn long list. And you have to keep in mind that pictures presented here are scans of just one of editions of SFRY Dinar, because SFRY dinar had a number of editions because of high inflation (it devolved at least once). So, this article in fact is not about Yugoslavian dinar but about SFRY dinar... Now, I got lost in everything I wrote here and I think that it would be far better to just abandon the succession boxes and maybe write and paragraph in the article about succession... --Dijxtra 10:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your detailed reply. I like what you did, using "number of other currencies". That seems like a good compromise compared to trying to list everything. I'm going to update the boxes to make it a bit more obvious that they're referring to different countries/currencies. I'm not sure how to handle the KSCS. It's linked into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia page, so I assumed (again :) that it would be reasonable to call the KSCS dinar a "Yugoslav dinar". Otherwise, maybe the "KSCS" and "KSCS dinar" should be their own pages. My goal is to link the Austro-Hungarian krone to the Yugoslav currency, which admittedly is challenging, but I find it interesting to follow the paths of currencies. I embarked on this task to learn something new, and appreciate your help (and patience). Mom2jandk 20:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'd say User:Dove1950 did a fabolous job and solved our problems with succession boxes :-) --Dijxtra 17:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ISO code?

Which ISO codes have been used for the Yugoslav dinar? The last one was YUD, and another one was YUM. Between which revaluations was YUM in use, and what codes were used for the other dinars? (218.228.195.44 12:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC))
