[edit] Requested move

*support. Usual disambiguation is with (currency). Markussep 10:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Is there a reason not to call it simply cruzeiro, like franc? There should be a dab header: For the sports club.... Septentrionalis 15:11, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
You're right, that would be better. Markussep 11:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
actually, franc is not comparable. It is about the denomination, not about a specific franc. For specific francs, see French franc, CFA franc, etc. (see my vote below) Ingrid 19:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Support cruzeiro, after duly weighing up the pros and cons of giving precedence to a defunct currency over a still-active sports team. The cruzeiro was in use for a long time, not just one of your five-year deals like the inti or the austral. –Hajor 20:40, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
  1. Support and make a disambiguation page, which includes the currency and the sports team. --Angelo 19:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • opposed There is an active poll at the numismatics project about how to name specific currency pages consistently. There is also a discussion about creating a new numismatics naming convention. Either way, we've requested that pages not be moved until consensus is reached. Ingrid 19:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

What was the exchange rate between the old reis and the Cruzeiro at its introduction? Nik42 08:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] On the subject of the Cruzeiro symbol and the Unicode table

Regardless of what the Unicode table says, Brazil has never used the symbol "₢" for this currency. There's no document from the Brazilian Central Bank and the Casa da Moeda that support the use of this symbol. The correct representation of the currency is "Cr$"! zanderredux 12:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Microsoft seems to think it is the symbol. There are other references it to it on the web, as well.[1][2] --Primetime 04:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I've never seen this symbol used anywhere, either. I can't understand why Microsoft would include it in their character map. Alr 00:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cruzieros.jpg

Image:Cruzieros.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
