Coin and Note Naming
A number of associated standards have emerged over the years from within the ccTalk specification. For example, the global tags to identify the world’s forever changing coins and notes.
In ccTalk a coin has a 6 character identifier <2-letter country code><3-letter value><1-letter issue code>
The country code conforms to ISO 3166. The issue code is assigned to different issue dates or special mint variations of the same coin.
e.g.
- US025A United States 25c
- GB010B Great Britain 10p
- EU200A Euro 2€
Bank notes follow the same pattern but 4 characters are allocated to the value and there is an associated scaling factor, usually x100, with the country.
e.g.
- US0001A United States $1
- GB0020A Great Britain £20
- EU0005A Euro 5€

Famous quotes containing the words coin, note and/or naming:
“The moral equalizes all; enriches, empowers all. It is the coin which buys all, and which all find in their pocket. Under the whip of the driver, the slave shall feel his equality with saints and heroes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No, in your rural letter box
I leave this note without a stamp
To tell you it was just a tramp
Who used your pasture for a camp.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Husband,
who am I to reject the naming of foods
in a time of famine?”
