Hi

I have just added this strange Notgeld banknote (not yet published): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note239303.html

In case of banknotes the "Size" field has two inputs (width&length). This is OK for "Rectangular" types of notes, but as soon as user selects "Round" type - the field name should be automatically changed to "Diameter" with only one entry field.

Perhaps it isn't a banknote, but a coin. There are several other notgeld coins made of cardboard in the catalog.

Those cardboard things are paper money of course, but don't fit the definition of coin nor banknote. For now they are in Numista coin catalog, but remember the classic three requirements for a currency to be a coin “metallum, figura et pondus" (metal, type and weight).

​For me it’s more a coin than a banknotes, ok it’s cardboard but the intention was clearly to copy a coin.
They can have choose to make it square or rectangular, it will have been easier to produce than round, so my guess is, if they made it round it’s to substitute a coin.

Always look on the bright side of life!

​Does that mean that these ain't coins, since they're not made out of metal? B.

The distinction between coins and banknotes in the Guidelines is "rigid" vs "flexible" (but rigid and flexible objects are combined in Exonumia).

Here are other non-metalic coins:

Hello,

Round banknotes now only show the diameter.
Conversely, rectangular, square and oval coins can now have their size in two dimensions.

Well … I don't agree with round banknote, if it's round it's to make it look like a coin then it belongs more to coin or Exonumia …

This is great! Cheers! 👍

Great, thanks!!! Gods of money are very pleased today.

Many requests for contributions are now better formulated.

I also thank you for adding two dimensions to oval coins (elongated exonumia).
