This multiple POTD is a set of three pictures, of which one is chosen at random.

The Romanian leu is the currency of Romania. It is subdivided into 100 bani, a word that means 'money' in Romanian. Banknotes were first issued in 1877. The country left the gold standard in 1914, and the leu's value fell. This 10-bani Romanian banknote is an example of a "paper coin", very small banknotes issued in denominations of 10, 25 and 50 bani by the Ministry of Finance in 1917 during World War I. It depicts King Ferdinand I on the obverse and the Romanian coat of arms on the reverse, and now forms part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.

Other denominations:

• 25 bani
• 50 bani

I will take a look. eviolite (talk) 04:58, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

I am very sorry, but this nomination is a quickfail, I note that you (the nominator) have not edited the article at all; I see that you are a new user and may not be aware, but articles should generally only be nominated for Good Article status by people who have worked significantly on them beforehand. I recommend you get more familiar with content creation before nominating articles for GA again, perhaps by writing an article on a topic you are interested in.

As for the article itslef, it is quite far from meeting the verifiable GA criterion; the page has 15 kilobytes of prose, yet few references to back it up. Several of the references are bare links and others are dead. There are more completely uncited paragraphs in the article than those that have even one reference, and there are existing cleanup tags. I have marked some of these myself; a large amount of work will need to be done to bring this article close to GA status. I have not checked the article for accordance with the other GA criteria yet as the lack of sourcing warrants a quickfail in and of itself; if you do intend to work on this article, please review referencing for beginners and the criteria. eviolite (talk) 05:23, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

References to old ROL vs RON

Nobody does that: "in speaking inhabitants might refer to an amount of 5 new lei as simply "fifty" in reference to its value of 50,000 old lei".

However you can observe an interesting trend when discussing product prices: in order to emphasize the good deal he's made, the biased shopper will use both currencies, like: "This was 1.200.000 lei, just got it at a great discount with 80 lei". 2A02:A58:820F:9200:2CCB:4E9F:FD2A:7C9 (talk) 09:51, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Recent respellings

Yesterday a user translated the article into American English, claiming British English is being "imposed" on the article. I feel this is contrary to WP:TITLEVAR which clearly states "American English spelling should not be respelled to British English spelling, and vice versa". 80.44.163.221 (talk) 21:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC) Ban-evasion by WP:Sockpuppet investigations/TheCurrencyGuy 74.73.224.126 (talk) 14:57, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

For what it's worth, it was User:TheCurrencyGuy who had first changed everything to BrE without good reason. Therefore, by your definition, it was TCG who had broken TITLEVAR because they had first breached your quoted stipulation that "American English spelling should not be respelled to British English spelling".

My goodness, looking up your contribution history it appears you are WP:GRAVEDANCING. 80.44.163.221 (talk) 12:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC) Ban-evasion by WP:Sockpuppet investigations/TheCurrencyGuy 74.73.224.126 (talk) 14:57, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
