I find it funny that the English name mark is not mentioned at all in the English Wikipedia. We sure used it in the English classes in my childhood. Was it never widely used in official contexts in the UK or in the USA? – Jippe 16:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The international banks and other financial organisations used FIM - Finnish markka, not mark. Check the external links. --Pudeo 19:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, thank you very much. I still think it's noteworthy that dictionaries used mark. I guess I'll leave it for others to decide whether and in which form that piece of information should be added. – Jippe 20:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Also, according to various sources, indeed the real ISO code "FIM" refers to Finnish Markka [1], [2], [3] --Pudeo 17:32, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ISO code?

What is the ISO code for the old (pre-1963) mark? It can't be FIM, since that exclusively refers to the post-1963 mark... (Stefan2 21:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Last finnish coins.jpg

Image:Last finnish coins.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.
