Exhaustive list of countries[edit]

You can virtually put every country on this list, there needs to be parameters. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 23:42, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a problem in trying to make is exhaustive. St Anselm (talk) 00:10, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is the law for the 1 agora coin with the three years deadline for getting rid of it, in Hebrew, if someone thinks it's worth including the citation. https://www.boi.org.il/he/Currency/LegislationAndRegulation/Documents/cancelation1Agora.pdf --Nngnna (talk) 10:53, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Exchanging old coins[edit]

Should there be a section about why some countries allow indefinite exchange of these coins, and others phase it out? Could this be related to copyright — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthinking2202 (talk • contribs) 23:24, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a relevant and encyclopedically interesting extension of this article. I would advise you to go ahead and write the relevant paragraphs if you are knowledgable about it and able to source it. Kubis (talk) 15:42, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slovakia to introduce cash rounding to the nearest 5 euro cents[edit]

Slovakia is in progress of a passing a law that aims to phase out the use of 1 and 2 euro cent coins until their expected official demonetization by the European Union. If the law is passed, cash transactions will be rounded to the nearest 5 euro cents.^[1] Currently, the proposed law, if passed, should take effect in January 2022.

My aim is to keep this here as reference for both the table on this page and the one on the page on cash rounding to be augmented by me or someone else if and when this happens. Kubis (talk) 16:21, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This only allows rounding though. The coins remain legal tender and are not going to be withdrawn.T v x1 01:00, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Micro-farthings[edit]

I wasn't sure if the Quarter farthing (+1⁄16d or +5⁄192p) and Third farthing (+1⁄12d or +5⁄144p) should be added to the article for the UK. One one hand they were made for use in Malta and Ceylon. On the other hand, they aren't marked as such. Thoughts? Nfitz (talk) 03:04, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recentism template[edit]

This article is almost exclusively restricted to recent decades; only seven countries have dates before the end of the Second World War. Many earlier coins could be added to this list, such as the three-cent nickel, or coins of Roman currency withdrawn as they were inflated, or all the coins of the German mark in Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, or other countries affected by hyperinflation around the same time, such as Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Russia. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 04:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misunderstand the scope of the article - it's for the lowest denomination coins. St Anselm (talk) 04:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The title is "low", not "lowest". Heaps of entries on this list have multiple denominations, and some were not lowest at the time of withdrawal. Austria has 1, 2, 5, and 20 groschen, with the 20 being withdrawn forty years before the others. 5, 10, 25 and 50 kuruş (Turkey) were withdrawn in 1965, while 2½ kuruş was withdrawn in 1989. (I think this is right, but the line breaks are unclear. Still, there are some lines where the higher denomination was withdrawn before the lower.) 20 colones (Costa Rica) was withdrawn twenty years before 5 colones. If the article is intended only for lowest, it needs to be renamed and to have many items removed. And, it still needs to have entries from pre-World-War-II hyperinflated currencies, such as the 5 and 10 pfennig coins withdrawn in 1922 in Germany (German_mark_(1871)#Base_metal_coins). 123.51.107.94 (talk) 04:51, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both the lead sentence and the text at the top of the table say "lowest". A lot of entries have been added contrary to this. St Anselm (talk) 21:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So...what about the removal of lowest coinage from pre-1945 hyperinflated currencies? You're not addressing the core issue here. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 23:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
