[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:1953ThreePence.jpeg
Image:1953ThreePence.jpeg 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 Wikipedia articles 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.
If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal
There are long lists of historical pre-decimal British coins at both Coins of the pound sterling and List of British bank notes and coins. I don't see any point in maintaining divergent lists in two different places. Therefore I propose merging the former to the latter (and, obviously, having a prominent link from one to the other). Does anyone see any good reason why this shouldn't be done? 86.150.102.93 (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup ideas
86.140.130.144 (talk · contribs) has been helpful to put the list of pre-decimal coins all in one place. However, I am not sure that here is the best place for it.
Here's why I am unsure: This page is almost an orphan: most of its incoming links are from the {{British coinage}} template. I suspect the reason is that it is far from a complete list of either coins or banknotes. Should we move the constituent parts back to the parent articles? That is fine for banknotes, as the section is short and incomplete anyway.
The list of pre-decimal coins is quite lengthy, yet I think that it will still make a useful section in a comprehensive article on British coins. A few of the coins are not strictly coins of the pound sterling, but represent other archaic currencies such as the Anglo-Saxon English penny (see British one penny coin (pre-decimal)) and the Guinea (British coin). Should comprehensiveness and inclusiveness trump an absolutely strict classification?

[edit] Ten shilling note = 1 Dollar
I am no expert on coinage or slang, but I remember "Ten bob notes" being commonly referred to as a "dollar", presumably reflecting it's approximate value of 1 US dollar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.4.74.75 (talk) 08:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
