Hello

I would like to suggest a change in the formatting of the demonetization date to be consistent with the dates in the datelines:

Maybe 01-Jan-2020 or 1 January 2020 is better to avoid day/month confusion.
Maybe we should have an option to set the desired format as we have for decimal places and thousand separator?

Hello,

I changed the demonetized format to "1 January 2020".

It replaces the potentially ambiguous formats "31-03-1926" (which was for the UK English and French versions) and "03-31-1926" (US English version).

Even if it may not the preferred format in some countries, it's a non-ambiguous way to express the date in full, aligned with the catalogue guidelines.
I preferred not being consistent with banknote dates. The format "1920-Jan-01" is useful for banknotes dates because it starts with the year (hence making easy to quickly grasp a long list of dates) and because it is short, but I prefer to avoid using this order and abbreviations where it's not needed.

​Cool, thank you+ that was my main concern.

Hopefully in the future there is some kind of option in the setting to have it changed to the users personal choice.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
