is it general practice to use EUR instead of $ in the table ? I do not object to it, i'm just curious if this shift in "world currency" is really happening....
Me too. :) MMad 03:18, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Euro/KYD
Im not sure where the original source for this article is from, but it appears that the Euro is currently higher in value than the KYD at the moment. According to yahoo finance, 1 Euro is worth 1.099 Cayman Island Dollars. -Zer0fighta 23:34, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's higher in value in the table, too; it's listed because it's worth more than one dollar. ;) —Nightstallion (?) 10:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table of Highest value banknote
I suggest this section is expanded to include a table of "Highest value banknote".
You use this term to mean The highest numerical value banknote of that currency (the column on your table). It could also be taken to mean the banknote (of any currency) with the highest monetary value. I.e. a table of "most valuable" banknotes in the world in normal circulation.
In which case the 1000 Swiss Frank note (not on your list, approx 650 Euros) would be above the 500 Euro note. The 20 Kuwaiti dinar note (= 53.93 Euros) would be way down the list, below the 100 US Dollar (= 77.98 Euros).
A similar table is also possible "Highest value coin". TiffaF 14:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- I can see your concern. I would like to take up the responsibility. But I'm on wiki break now. Btw, the largest non-commemorative banknote is 10000 Singapore/Brunei dollars, then 500 Latvian Lats. --Chochopk 22:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

- Why does this only go up to 12? Twenty or ten would be a more logical number. – Zntrip 04:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Swiss Franc
The Swiss Franc is missing from this list. (It has a higher value than the Euro, and the US Dollar) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.212.54.84 (talk • contribs) 05:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- As of right now, xe.com says that 1 USD is worth 1.22536 Swiss Francs. That makes it worth less than a US dollar. Nik42 07:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Monthly update
This table should at least be updated monthly so that it can keep track of currencies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.45.57.38 (talk) 21:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
- Yeah, it probably should. The least valued currency unit page is updated rather more frequently than that. Of course, that also contains a number of currencies with high rates of inflation, most notably the Zimbabwean dollar Nik42 22:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
