Overall: @Johnbod: This is an interesting article. I'm approving this nomination, although I personally would remove the comma between "pattern" and "that". Unlimitedlead (talk) 18:45, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thks -done that. Johnbod (talk) 19:07, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, put it back, as it made it sound as if the $ pattern was "adapted from...", which it wasn't. Johnbod (talk) 19:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dollar rather than S pattern?

Why on earth is it described as a dollar sign when it looks far more like a S? the pattern doesn't have the line through it like a dollar sign, and is far closed to an S. Is it really called a dollar sign in the international literature? Stronach (talk) 13:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some look more like $ than others. Yes it certainly is called that - try the refs or google. It might be partly a dealers joke on the prices they fetch. Johnbod (talk) 16:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
