Message:: [QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 2056804, member: 36248"]Based on a few previous threads, I decided to try and collect all the coin Acronyms in one place along with their corresponding translations. I doubt this list can ever be complete, but I will try my best!   If you see any important acronyms missing, please let me know and I will add them.   I am working on cleaning up the translation / definitions. Currently I have compiled around 211 Acronyms. Trying to keep this free of generic internet Acronyms, but if you think one must be added let me know.
