Criteria for inclusion[edit]

Do not archive this thread An obsolete denomination of currency is a denomination that meets all of the requirements below:

  • Circulated, the denomination must have been made with the intention of circulation and must have been circulated by the public or a government.
  • Discontinued, the denomination must not be made for circulation anymore. It may, however, be made for other purposes such as for collectors items or for investors.
  • No longer circulated, the denomination must have been largely removed from circulation by either a government or the public.

Fractional paper currency[edit]

Someone needs to add fractional paper currency. Maybe I'll do it. Harksaw (talk) 15:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coins[edit]

We need to add a spot for the 4 dollar Stella. I might do this in a few hours Thesharkjonas (talk) 23:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I'd classify them as "obsolete", since they were struck as patterns and were never put into circulation. I think a denomination has to have entered circulation for at least a little while to be "obsolete". In fact, I wouldn't include the two-cent billon or three-cent bronze coins on the list for the same reason. Almostfm (talk) 00:33, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
