What about the real coins?

Both the Zenigata Heiji article and the previous deletion discussion say that this is a word that refers to actual coins. In the former they are depicted as typical old-style coins with holes in the middle (this allowed for running string through them to keep them organized and more easily group amounts of coins). So why does the page only refer to fiction? Do we not have articles about ancient Japanese coins? Rifter0x0000 (talk) 02:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(I am not a numismatist, but) From what I can gather, eg at wiktionary:銭, the word zeni just means "money" or "coins" in the generic sense, and does not refer to a particular type of coin. However, if you can determine a specific article (e.g. something from Template:Japanese currency and coinage) that we should link to, then we could do so.

Additionally, our WP:Disambiguation pages have a specific set of style guidelines, whereby we don't include "dictionary definitions" within the pages: we only include items that are exact usages of the ambiguous word – e.g. our disambig page Bell doesn't include some of the entries from wikt:bell, nor does it list non-exact-matches like bell jar (which would not generally be referred to as just "bell").

Hope that helps. -- Quiddity (talk) 04:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
