code for Zimbabwean dollar

Can you explain in more detail why you think the code for the redenominated Zimbabwean dollar is still ZWD? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am a market data analyst for a major financial data provider and as such this is my business to know. We have actually received a notice from the ISO confirming that the currency code for Zimbabwe will remain as ZWD. I may add that all financial companies were under the impression that the currency code would change to ZWN - the confusion was widespread.

I guess it would be wise to stick with "ZWD" sense Pgcohen seems to know what he's (or she's) talking about and the ISO Website sill has "ZWD" – Zntrip 15:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ghana Cedi

Good evening - I noticed that you removed some of my updates to the Ghana Cedi page. - First of all - I thought I had logged on as myself (pgcohen), but clearly must have forgotten - mea culpa, etc. Just FYI - we received an official notice from the ISO this past week that Ghana will use the new currency GHP - I actually double checked with the ISO, because I suspected that GHP stood for Ghanian Pesewa. However the ISO confirmed that this currency change is correct. I am somewhat of a Wikipedia novice - although I have made changes before - please let me know how you want me to proceed from here. - Peter Cohen - 8:35 PM, 17 June 2007 (EDT)

Hi, the rationale for my change is that the infobox should show the current and latest information. I didn't revert your addition completely. I just removed a second mention of GHP. If you have a source, like a url, you're welcome to add it. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 00:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
