A fact from Lyndon Bridge appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 July 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1894 officials in Whiteside County, Illinois paid a man $1.50 per day to watch the construction of Lyndon Bridge (pictured)?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/July.

Dollars

Given that every dollar amount is indicated with "US$" is the disclaimer really necessary? Donald Hosek 22:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not. I didn't do it. I believe the MOS says the first appearance should be linked. I usually link the first in the lead and then in the article. Feel free to remove the extraneous links, or I will do it when I get a shot IvoShandor 22:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the manual of style, it appears that the disclaimer should be there, but the currency mentions should all just be an unlinked $. Donald Hosek 22:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the article so it now follows the MOS in this regard Nil Einne (sorry forgot to sign)
