==Debt vs. currency==
==Debt vs. currency==
This article appears to blur the distinction between a ''debt'' crisis (inability to honor scheduled obligations), and a ''currency'' crisis (inability to honor current obligations). Sometimes the two are related, as when the US introduced a paper currency to avoid defaulting on its debt during the Civil War, and then defaulted on that currency instead, but I think a distinction can be made.

At some time, someone made edits referring to 19th century defaults by the UK with citations. No response to a request for citations has occurred. A notable source used in the [[History of the British national debt#cite note-3|more specialised wiki article]] directly contradicts the claims. Hence claims have been removed.

Debt vs. currency

This article appears to blur the distinction between a debt crisis (inability to honor scheduled obligations), and a currency crisis (inability to honor current obligations). Sometimes the two are related, as when the US introduced a paper currency to avoid defaulting on its debt during the Civil War, and then defaulted on that currency instead, but I think a distinction can be made. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 16:31, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
