Merger proposal

[edit]

Why the merger proposal? Mandats territoriaux were a distinct currency. - Jmabel | Talk 01:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

[edit]

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Banknote

[edit]

Assignats were not banknotes since they were not issued by a bank. They were rather treasury notes, or more precisely, treasury bonds. I suggest the use of paper money in the article. Timur lenk (talk) 11:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:FRA-A73-République Française-400 livres (1792) 2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 14, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-08-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:57, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assignat
An assignat banknote, issued in 1792, with a face value of 400 livres. An early French banknote first issued in 1789, during the French Revolution, the assignat was backed by the value of seized properties. Amidst widespread counterfeiting, limited use, and opposition from counter-revolutionaries, the assignat devalued quickly and was replaced by the mandat in 1796.Banknote: République Française; image courtesy of the National Numismatic Collection at the National Museum of American History (Smithsonian Institution)
