$2000 bill
editI wanted to ask you to consider whether the page on obsolete US currency is the proper place for this banknote.
Because it was not directly issued by the Federal government, I'm not sure that it belongs in this page any more than the other private bank notes that were issued in the 19th century.
I'm not going to revert the edit, because I was curious about your reason for adding it to the page. thanks! Almostfm (talk) 07:54, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- As they are private issues, I would concur that odd denomination Obsolete banknotes like $3 or $8 bills don't belong. However, in the case of the $2,000 bill, the difference is that rather being issued by any random private bank, the note was actually issued by a government institution, the Second Bank of the United States. --Enterlousy (talk) 18:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Wehwalt: What are your thoughts on this? --Enterlousy (talk) 03:23, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- The Second Bank was federally chartered, and the government owned stock in it, but it was a private bank, run by Nicholas Biddle as I recall. I would not consider its issues to be government issues.--Wehwalt (talk) 07:25, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Coinage template
editHi. On the coinage template, please don't remove any coin issues, such as the half-dimes (you may just be doing a work in progress and will return them, if so, never mind). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:58, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Randy Kryn: Oh, no, the coin template was a complete mess, and the coin issues I removed were repeated twice. Man, just look at the template, it's completely disorganized from lack of maintenance. --Enterlousy (talk) 18:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, and thanks, you're doing a good job. I was thinking of the half-dime, which should be listed in the nickel section, didn't notice it was listed twice. Just didn't know if you were a new editor snipping away some of the historical coinage. Won't interrupt your flow, enjoy. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:13, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Randy Kryn: Yep yep, which is why the two-cent billion is listed separately from the regular (bronze) two-cent piece, the gold dollar is listed separately from the regular (silver/cupronickel/golden) dollar coins, etc. --Enterlousy (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

$2 fantasy coin
editThe $2 fantasy coin dated 2009 that you added to Cancelled denominations of United States currency is not based on official drawings or a pattern coin, and is just speculation of what a modern $2 coin might look like. If a fantasy coin is struck based on official drawings or a pattern coin (such as the gold $100 Union fantasy), than it would qualify to be listed in an article like this. - ZLEA Talk\Contribs 21:11, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Pan-Pacific Half Union
editMy thought is that because it was a commemorative and not a circulation issue, it probably shouldn't be considered "obsolete", especially since the government currently strikes $50 gold bullion coins. To my mind, a coin that was never intended for circulation shouldn't be on the list. Almostfm (talk) 21:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- It is a commemorative and is covered in detail at Panama–Pacific commemorative coins. They are all beautiful.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- In my opinion, an obsolete coin is a coin that was intended for circulation, but is not made anymore, or is not circulated anymore. All US coins (with the exception of the Half Cent) can be used in transactions. However, if someone uses a $100 American Platinum Eagle in a transaction, and the denomination is discontinued next year, the Platinum Eagle would not qualify to be listed in Obsolete denominations of United States currency as it was not intended for circulation. - ZLEA Talk\Contribs 22:34, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- @ZLEA: In that case, if the Platinum Eagle were to theoretically be discontinued tomorrow, the coins section of the page would be divided into circulating and non-circulating coins. Just my two cents (no pun intended). --Enterlousy (talk) 15:58, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- Discontinued and obsolete are two different things (although in the case of almost all US circulation coins, discontinuation has always been followed by obsolescence). If a bullion coin is discontinued, it would not be considered obsolete because it would still be used for its intended purpose (see Bullion coin). Same for commemorative coins, although the $50 has not been produced for over 100 years, it is still used for its intended purpose as a collector's piece. Just my two and a half cents (pun intended).
- I would like to point out that the one exception to the circulation coin rule above is the dollar coin. Dollar coins have not been struck for circulation since 2012, and are only available in mint sets and proof sets. However, it is still circulated and therefore not obsolete. - ZLEA Talk\Contribs 18:41, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
Ring cent
editI see that you are working on an article for the ring cent in your sandbox. I've uploaded two pictures of the ring cent (one with the center hole and one without) at File:1850 Ring cent pattern with hole.jpg and File:1850 Ring cent pattern without hole.jpg. - ZLEA Talk\Contribs 00:53, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- @ZLEA: Appreciate the work. When I have time I will be adding more images in as well, of the obverse and reverse of each design. Like the Washington nickel, this coin has multiple variations of it. --Enterlousy (talk) 01:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Definitions of obsolete and cancelled denominations of currency
editI've noticed that we have slightly differing viewpoints on what an obsolete denomination and cancelled denomination is. I've gone ahead and created definitions for both terms at User:ZLEA/Numismatics. What are your thoughts on these definitions? Feel free to suggest changes. - ZLEA T\C 20:07, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
