Pictures

JUst want to see--202.81.186.186 03:17, 14 August 2005 (UTC) the pictures of it......[reply]

Live images

It is not true that the Philippine commemoratives are the only US coins to show live persons at the time of their mintage. Calvin Coolidge appeared on a commemorative gold coin in 1896 while he was still alive and still president. Two senators, Joseph Robinson & Carter Glass, appeared on two different commemorative halves. More recently, Eunice Kennedy Shriver appeared on a 1995 commemorative gold coin, the only living woman to appear on US coins, and the only person to appear on a coin that's still alive at this time.

Contradiction

Since May 2006, the Bangko Sentral issued P1 Peso Coins in nickel-covered steel dating 2004-Present.
(in the table) 65% copper 35% zinc ... 2004

nickel, steel, copper, and zinc are all different things. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

Per the survey at talk:Philippine peso, I've moved this article to "Coins of the Philippine peso". -Will Beback · † · 18:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to original talk post -

Calvin Coolidge, US President from 1923-1929, couldn't possibly have appeared on a "US gold commemorative in 1896 while he was still president." He was only 24 at that time, and apprenticing at a law firm in Massachusetts....in other words, an unknown.

The first US gold commem was issued in 1903.

You know, it's REALLY not hard to check these facts. A couple of clicks on the 'net, and you're good to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.226.80 (talk) 23:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2-peso coin

I remember there being a 2-peso coin, having a tree on its reverse. Does anyone know if it is still legal tender or at least have information about it?

Flip619 05:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Decagon(?) is no longer legal tender. But I think banks are willing to change them to the coins used now. --Howard the Duck 16:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old coins

Should we include images of former Philippine coins? Like the flower-coin that shows Melchora Aquino, the square one showing Lapu-Lapu, the coins depicting Coconut tree, carabao, sampaguita, etc.?--JL 09^{Talk to me!} 15:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1 centavo

Is the 1 centavo coin still in circulation? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lowest amount that is commonly circulated is 5 centavos/sentimos. Thanks. 110.55.227.67 (talk) 11:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The presence of a fair use rationale for this article on an image description page does not make it acceptable for a given use.
Blanket restoration of the non-free images that have been removed can and most likely will be reverted, with subsequent reporting action possible.
If some restoration is desired, careful consideration of exactly what non-free media to use must be made, paying special attention to WP:NFCC #1 and #8. In most cases non-free media needs to be tied directly to the prose of the article, most preferably with inline citations tying the discussion to secondary sources regarding the image per Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If this is a list type article, please read the WP:NFLISTS guideline. If you wish to dispute this removal, it may be helpful to read WP:OVERUSE, as it answers a number of typical questions and responses to removals such as this.

I have uploaded some free, properly licensed images of my own, and would encourage others to do likewise.

However, keep the rules of Wikimedia commons in mind. Aside from whatever laws might exist about making images of coins (it is generally OK to do so), it is important to keep in mind the copy right laws that apply to images of coins. Most coins could be thought of as a form of bar relief sculpture (though some ancient Greek coins might be considered base relief or even 3/4 relief) and the same rules regarding images of statues would also apply to images of coins:

Specifically, an ancient statue would not have a copyright but images of that statue can and often do have a copyright. The same thing would apply to images of coins, just because the coin has no copyright does not mean that no copyright applies to images of it. Certainly you would be free to make images of non copyright coins in your own collection and upload them, but that does not mean you can do the same with images from a commercial website, even if the coins themselves have no copyright.

I say this because I have noticed that some images (usually low resolution) in Wikimedia commons come from commercial websites and it doesn't appear that the uploader got permission from the website owner, and was assuming that the fact that the coins have no copyright means images of the coins are not copy righted. That is an incorrect and potentially dangerous assumption. John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 18:16, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

It should also be noted that the rules of the BSP prohibit only metallic copies of legal tender coins. There are no restrictions on photographic or digital images of coins. http://www.bsp.gov.ph/bspnotes/rules.asp John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 12:22, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Pre-independance tables

Shouldn't there be tables of the pre-independance coins on his page?--69.116.9.204 (talk) 05:21, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think this kind of table would work better User:Ant2242/sandbox--Ant2242 (talk) 17:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Table extension

Does anyone know how to make the columns "mintage" and “years of issue" collapsible or scrollable in sink, to save page space?--Ant2242 (talk) 20:56, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like so see that myself! John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 11:39, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Colonial Period

I recently purchased some decent examples of all the U.S. Colonial era types (not all the dates!) on eBay and will be uploading images in the next couple of weeks. John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 11:39, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

New generation currency series security features

The fine printing on the 5 and 10 Piso coins looks really cool, but given that the 10 Piso coin is only worth about 19 US cents and the 5 Piso coin is worth only about 9.5 US cents, it hardly seems worth it to try to counterfeit them. Has this really been a problem? John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 20:28, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
