[edit] Merger

Merge - Should be merged with the Loan article. SirIsaacBrock 13:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

The imprest system is different from a loan and shouldn't be classified under loan. This article needs to be expanded, but I don't know enough to do it. Once the article is more fully expanded, the difference between loans and imprest funds will be more clear. July 5, 2006

DON'T MERGE The Imprest system as used in Local Government in the UK is a way of delegating control of small amounts of cash & cheques to officers, by providing separate bank accounts which are topped-up by the central finance function when required. 81.171.138.7 08:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

This article is not titled Petty cash Imprest system, so I am restoring the original first paragraph and merging the newer first paragraph into the article. NilssonDenver 00:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Denomination

In no English-speaking country is the Euro legal tender, so I don't see why an article on a financial topic in English should use the euro as its denomination. Since more countries (as far as I am aware) use the dollar than the pound, I have substituted the dollar sign. If I am wrong, then the pound sign would also be a good choice.

They speak English in the Republic of Ireland don't they?

English is one of two official languages in Ireland; the first official language is Gaelic and English has secondary status. The U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Bahamas, Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and many, many other English-speaking countries use the dollar. So, back to the dollar sign.

Why a dollar when that is not universally used. It is an anomoly of the universal sharing of knowledge and ideas that you have to accept the differences in culture, ideas and currency. People in the USA may find this concept difficult. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.74.238.6 (talk) 10:00, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
