When a rectangular shape is selected in the modification or creation of a new coin/exnumia can the diameter field be disabled and a new field of length/width be shown instead or follow the banknote method of a size field. The diameter is an inapproriate field for a rectanugular shaped coin/exonumia.

I believe the guidelines should also be updated to reflect this.
I think putting the height and length in the additional information field of the shape and the diameter as size has its merits. I only use coin flips with round windows, right now I can see right away what kind of flip I need.
here is something from the historical archives:

Hello,

Rectangle, square, oval and spade coins can now have their size in 2 dimensions.

See for example: N#13433
