requesting the creation of a missing ruling authority in the catalog [solved]

Puerto Rico is missing the Ruling authority from 1898- present day

As this is known to be the USA, that should be added as an option, otherwise the ‘Currency’ and 'denomination' drop down box's can't be populated, as they do not currently provide the US Currency option (the legal tender of Puerto Rico for over 125 years)

It should be treated consistently on Numista in the same manner as the US Virgin Islands

This issue affects Notes, Coins & Exonumia sections

I agree there are missing data for this issuer, but also I think is not the same for all 5 sections.

Up to 1898, Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony, so is OK it is set the same as other former colonies, like Bolivia, Perú México, etc., since in spite of coins/notes were printed at Spain, they were for use at PR, so it makes sense to be considered an issuer. Same for the exonumia side (tokens, medals, papers).

But from “independence” on 1898-1900, PR uses U.S. currency only, but still issues exonumia items.

Therefore, I think current ruling authorities and currencies are OK for old Puerto Rico, and the ruling authorities and currencies should be added to exonumia sections

What item actually needs this? I am not seeing any.

Here's one example…

1 Cent - Anadon Cash & Carry (Ponce Municipio, Ponce) - Puerto Rico – Numista

there are many more

Ok, but the post was about rulling authority. Rulling authority field should stay empty in this case. 

As for currency, it would seem to be missing, but I would challenge assigning these to Puerto Rico at all - we would not assing Florida tokens to Florida issuer, or Texas ones to Texas issuer - they are all part of US (integration varies), so those tokens are all from US.

The heading of the post is….

This message aims at: requesting the creation or the modification of a currency or denomination in the catalog

The point is that if one can't enter currency or denomination then there is an info gap and also (based on your suggestion of putting under USA), then that would be a different (inconsistent) treatment compared with what happens in Numista for other US territories like Guam & US Virgin Islands

True, I guess those items are payable only in the original store, right?

There already is a Dollar currency for Puerto Rico.

Well, that reference is not clear whether it is referring to the ‘US dollar’ (which is the legal currency there for past 125 years) or some random Fantasy ‘Puerto Rico dollar’.

When selected, it also doesn't activate the ‘denomination’ drop down options. See image.

So whatever way you look at it, this section still needs fixing up.

I modified the currency to be more telling, and added first denomination, next ones can be added by selecting “Other” and writing them into “write-in” field.
