Arrnea Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) As reported in this topic: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=62027 currencies that do not have plural distinctions are listed with incorrect plurals (eg. Yens, Dongs, Kwachas) in the 'Government Financial' section of the View My Nation screen. After a bit of research, I have determined which currencies do and do not have plural distinctions, from among the currencies choosable ingame. (Links to the Wikipedia page for each currency can be reached by clicking on the name of the currency) Table of Currencies and Plural Distinctions Singular Form Plural Distinction? Plural Form Afghani No Afghani Austral Yes Australes Baht No Baht Canadian Yes (1) Dollars Dinar Yes Dinars Dollar Yes Dollars Dong No Dong Euro Mixed (2) Euro/Euros Florin No Florin Franc Yes Francs Kwacha No Kwacha Kwanza Yes Kwanzas Kyat No Kyat Lari No Lari Mark No Mark Peso Yes Pesos Pound Yes Pounds Riyal No Riyal Rouble Yes Roubles Rupee Yes Rupees Shilling Yes Shillings Won No Won Yen No Yen Note 1: There is no such currency as the 'Canadian'. The closest real currency is the Canadian Dollar, which uses the standard format of Dollar/Dollars.Note 2: It is stated by the European Union that in official contexts, the Euro has no plural distinction, but in common usage, it is permitted to use the plural form 'Euros'. So as you can see, it is not merely the Japanese Yen that does not have a plural distinction, but quite a few currencies, and therefore it is incorrect to list these currencies with the typical 'add-an-s-to-the-end' plural form. Totals Currencies WITH plural distinction: 11 Currencies WITHOUT plural distinction: 11 Currencies with a mixture of both: 1 Edited July 5, 2009 by Arrnea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
