Another reason I have decided to move this page is because Tael is an English word. Compare with Chinese yuan and Korean yang which in my opinion are ok. Meandmyself 02:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Anyone care to research the etymology for "Tael"? You would think that it would sound more similar to the Chinese word. 24.19.184.243 09:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Paper money

I think, perhaps, one should consider how much paper currency is"worth". metals.. precious or otherwise, are valuable for what we can do with them.. paper currency.. is just paper.. it derives its only value.. from the promise of our future taxes 50.227.184.66 (talk) 09:25, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, paper money is indeed not traded based on their intrinsic value but in the trust that one would receive an amount of taels in silver if brought to a financial institution willing to honour this promise. --Donald Trung (talk) 09:33, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Modern tael weight

I can't find a place in this article where the standardization for the weight of a modern tael is cited rn, but I think it comes from https://www.royalmint.com/invest/investing-in-precious-metals/precious-metals-academy/precious-metals-academy-beginner-course/module-7/ Akansomi (talk) 17:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
