Euro

Hi Joel. Just a quick explanation regarding my revert of your changes to Euro.

This change: The euro is divided into 100 cents (sometimes referred to as euro cents, especially when distinguishing them from other currencies, and referred to as such on the normal side of all cent coins).

The article uses the words "common side" referring to the side of each coin that is the same across the Eurozone, the other side changes depending on which country the coin was minted in. When you changed this to "normal side" this sense was lost and the sentence became unclear as it's not obvious what the "normal" side of a coin is. The "common side" terminology is defined in the lead to the article as well to make this clear.

This change: "All circulating coins have a common side showing the worth or value, and a map in the background."

Why did you delete denomination? This is not an unusual word to use when referring to money.

This change: "Capital within the EU may be transferred in any amount from one country to another country."

If you really think this is better please feel free to reinsert, but it is perfectly acceptable in British English to say "from one country to another."

Thanks for your attempt at improving the article though. If you're not sure about whether a change is appropriate or not you can always raise it first on the article's talk page to see if other user's have any comments. Connolly15 (talk) 18:39, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
