Picture of the day

A banknote for three pence, or 1/80 of a Pennsylvania pound, the currency of colonial Pennsylvania. Created as a response to the global economic downturn caused by the 1720 collapse of the South Sea Company, the currency was worth 25% less than sterling. It was discontinued in 1793 in favor of the United States dollar. This note was signed by Thomas Wharton and printed by Benjamin Franklin and David Hall.Banknote: Benjamin Franklin and David Hall (printers); image courtesy of the National Numismatic Collection at the National Museum of American History (Smithsonian Institution)

Hello, since July 2016 there have been notices on this page to the effect that "This article's lead section may be too long for the length of the article." and that "This article should be divided into sections by topic, to make it more accessible." Given the length of this article (three paragraphs), I don't see how these are necessary, so I'm going to be bold and remove them. Objections, register them here. — AJDS ^talk 11:41, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
