Currencies list

Hello,

When an item is not attached to any currency the system allow you give an existing value:

Nice but this list is a bin and you can't do a simple search on it, it's impossible to find anything …

Can we make it searchable?

I was looking for "5 Centimes", good luck to find it …

I agree that the current list of denominations not attached to any currency is really not practical.

But why would you assign a denomination of “5 centimes” without a currency? For this kind of denominations, I expect the coin should have a currency.

If the currency was added then please select it and add 5 centimes in it

How do you add a value in the list ?

So far I succeeded to trick the system but I used a very dirty way from database point of view.

When the entry has a currency selected, if the denomination selector lack one, clicking other will submit a denomination creation request on Admin side

I recently sent modification requests about pieces of exonumia with a value (with currency, or fantasy currency), and I had this problem when I searched and selected a value from the some similar options in the list. I selected one value, but I did not know what currency is associated with my selected value (I really wanted select a value without currency, because were exonumia of type game/fantasy).

For example, this token N#236720 has a value of 2½ Dollars and there are a few options for choose. In these case was “easy” (text is “2½ Dollars”, with fraction and “s”; I only choose between numerical values 2.5 or 2.50). If I look for “2.5 Pounds”, there are two identical options.

🤔Now I saw that the options are sorted by numerical values.

If we see these options group by the currency, it can be more easy.

I suppose values are assign to one currency (actual or fantasy). Actual currencies are assign to one country/issuer, but… what happen with fantasy values?

On the other hand, if we select currency as Unknown, I think the values should not include the values of actual currencies.

When no currency is set in the selector, you see only denominations linked with no currencies.

If you select a currency, the denominations selector only list denominations from this currency

When no currency is set in the selector, you see only denominations linked with no currencies.

Then… there are many denominations without currencies. 😵

I assume some pairs in the image of my previous example are duplicates.

I found this topic https://en.numista.com/forum/topic140018.html. If I understand it, they are creating fantasy currencies by country/issuer and assigning values to them, to reduce the list of values without currency. It is correct?

Yes exactly :-)

Yes, it is an ongoing and progressive work.

Is there any way for a non-referee to help with the work?

Yes, actually, there are coins/tokens that need to be assigned/reassigned to the right currency/denomination. I list them here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic140018.html

Denominations can only be cleared out when they are empty, and the thread above works on that.

I would like to thank everyone who helped there so far.
