<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 582002, member: 39&quot;]Must admit that I find the &quot;¢&quot; on a coin somewhat strange too. (Oh well, the whole wheat sheaf design is suboptimal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) But what is wrong with using digits to indicate the value? Do you object to having them on your paper money as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>Coming from a multilingual environment, I would find it odd to have the value written out in a row of letters. But there are other reasons too - by using digits you (usually) have more space for the &quot;core design&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Visitors (or collectors, hehe) will indeed have to learn the denominations then. But for a local the coins will soon be something familiar - and if the words ONE CENT do not help, then the size and &quot;color&quot; will. Now for vision impaired people, size and edge are more helpful clues anyway ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
