[edit] Denominations?
The new pound is divided into 100 piastres and available in six denominations - 1, 2, 10, 20, and 50 piastres as coins, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 pounds as banknotes.
This line is confusing. That lists 11 different denominations, not six - five coins and six banknotes. Also, the lack of a 5-piastre denomination seems rather strange. Is that an error? Nik42 08:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I know they are similar to the Dinar except take away two zeros, it states the Dinar coins become piaster coins and the same with the banknotes. Enlil Ninlil 08:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

- But there are 5 dinar coins, which would be equal to 5 new piastres. So, effectively eliminating a denomination seems rather odd Nik42 04:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

- According to the Bank of Sudan, there is a 5-piastre coin, but not a 2-piastre coin. I've changed the 2 to a 5 and indicated the source for this information. --Heath 24.127.52.67 17:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Currency code?
Anyone seen it? Maybe it's SDP again, as was the case for the first pound...? —Nightstallion (?) 14:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's SDG, but it's not yet been publically announced... —Nightstallion (?) 10:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Move
Re the discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics/Style, should this article be moved to Sudanese junaih, given how prevalent Arabic is in Sudan as opposed to English? I know that pound is written on the banknotes, which is what has made me reticent in the past to suggest this move. However, Lebanese livre recently moved to Lebanese lira for similar reasons.
Note that sub-denomination is spelt differently qirsh/qirush in successive lines of the summary. all of the page is about current sudanese currency any help/links to sudanese 1940's currency? Also pictures of current would be helpful if aanyone has them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.182.146 (talk) 11:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
