Change request for Numisdoc "World War II - Occupation and emergency coinages of Europe"

Hi,

I'm not sure in which forum to post this, but as this is Free discussion, it should be allowed here anyway.

There is a mistake in the Numisdoc "World War II - Occupation and emergency coinages of Europe". In the part about The Netherlands, the text mentions that each coin featured a national symbol to replace the absent Queen Juliana. The problem here is that Wilhelmina was the reigning queen until 1948. Juliana reigned from 1948 until 1980.

Could someone please change this? :)

Thanks!

Maybe good to add that regular Dutch coinage continued to be minted in the US for use in Dutch overseas territories such as the Dutch East Indies, Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles.

During the occupation the Dutch Guilder was worth 1.50 Reichsmark in 1940 and devalued to 1.327 RM in 1941. The broken link with home currency established an overseas Guilder exchange rate of 1.88 Guilders to the USD, which was the rate before WW2. After the war the Suriname and Netherlands Antilles Guilders remained at that level while the newly reformed mainland Guilder was devalued to 3.60 per USD in 1949.
