For some reason, in Hurricane 3, it lists Euros, but that currency wasn't around until the 1990s. That should be fixed. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the source for the damages lists losses in Euros. Note the sign. Obviously, the Euro currency did not appear until the 1990s, but it is important to remain consistent with the source. CVW (Talk) 01:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

So a newspaper article written in 1924 would use a currency that wouldn't exist for over 70 years? That's almost as bad as saying that taxes raised by Rome in 100AD were in excess of US$50 million. The newspaper is clearly talking about £ (GBP) not € (EUR)... Fixed in article.--CycloneAlley (talk) 18:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I apologize; that was a severe mental lapse! It was difficult to discern the exact sign from the minute text. I'm familiar with the GBP symbol as well. CVW (Talk) 01:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
