- Comment: Other hooks and images possible. And really, I think this could benefit tremendously from a picture spot.

Overall: @LordPeterII Good article! My main problem is that while hooks 1 and alt1 are sourced hooks alt2-4 are not. Im going to approve the hooks once they're all cited. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:09, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Not a review, just a comment. I really like this article. Would be great for DYK once the ALT2-4 hooks are cited here. I would lean for ALT1 or ALT3. Really good nom. Soulbust (talk) 14:23, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- @LordPeterII: since it's been a week. Onegreatjoke (talk) 12:30, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Technically, they were all cited in the article (which is the actual requirement), I only didn't repeat them all here since I thought of ALT2–4 a bit later, and then frankly forgot. The source is actually the same for most ALTs, but I've added a more explicit source to the article for the currency name. –LordPeterII (talk) 09:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Alright Approving
