[edit] Various

Why is the franc sign listed as a former currency sign? As far as I know, it's still used in many parts of Africa, and other locations.

Why are only some currency signs mentioned in the table? Signs like "kr" are nowhere to be found, although other two-letter signs such as "Lm" are there. (Stefan2 21:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC))

Assuming that the currency signs should link to the present currency, I changed S/. to link to Peruvian nuevo sol, as this is the currency of Peru at this time. --ErickAgain 21:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

I actually don't think the image was to small, and thought it conveyed the jist of symbols around the world well. It should be included, if not as was, maybe the template can be stretched and implemented on the bottom of pages. Joe I 05:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Should this be a navbox?

The infobox-like format of this template has a high wrecking-ball potential for article formatting, and tells us nothing about the individual currency sign itself. It provides a nice way to navigate to different currency symbols, however. In this case, wouldn’t it be better if this were a navbox? I’d like to see input before I enact that drastic a change unilaterally, but I’ll do it in a week if there isn’t really any objection. -BRPXQZME (talk) 08:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Seeing no objection, I have gone ahead and done it, updating all articles using the template. -BRPXQZME (talk) 06:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
