Talk:Scandinavian Monetary Union

Krone prior to 1873?

Is it really true that the krone was already used in Denmark prior to the monetary union? I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that the krone replaced the daler (or rigsdaler). --Twid 09:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

No it isn't. The currencies were Mark and Skilling. However, during the reign of Christian IV, a 4 skilling piece would be known as a "krone" but that is irrelevant in a 19th century context. Valentinian ^{T / C} 10:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the nonsense about the krone being the currencies of Denmark and Norway prior to the introduction of the monetary union. Whoever wrote it is probably thinking of the 17th century krone currency, which is an entirely different story. Alfons Åberg (talk) 23:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Bias

What on earth is up with the bias in the last paragraph? I'm going to see if I can make it better. --163.1.137.58 12:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Eurozone

Someone stated that Sweden and Denmark were part of the eurozone. I removed this since it's just plain wrong. Maybe more details need to be checked. (Stefan2 23:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC))

Quote by economic historians Ingrid Henriksen and Niels Kærgård, not encyclopedic.

Loose opinion quotes like that isn't encyclopedic style. Further, no page number is given. Boeing720 (talk) 16:04, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

This is not some "loose opinion", it's a peer-reviewed assessments by recognized experts. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

It's formulated as a quote. They may be experts, but experts also have opinions. This form is not encyclopedic. You can't find anything similar in a Scandinavian or English encyclopedia, can you ? You must put it as a regular statement and not just refer to a whole book, page number is required. If we allowed quotes of expert-opinions (without proper page references = "loose") then we could just as well use a Hitler quote from Mein Kampf, preparing it with "German politician Adolf Hitler wrote ...". Who has appointed Henriksen & Kærgård "economic historicans" ? Boeing720 (talk) 16:25, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Also - read this [1] , page 4:8 (left column far down) "Den gemensamma nordiska valutan uppfyllde inom myntunionen samtidigt de tre funktioner som penningen tilldelas i ekonomisk teori, nämligen att utgöra en räkneenhet (kontraktsenhet), ett bytesmedel och en värdebevarare. Myntunionen hade ingen motsvarighet i omvärlden. Inga andra politiskt självständiga länder gick lika långt i valutapolitisk integration under denna tid. Sett i internationellt perspektiv var den skandinaviska myntunionen den mest framgångsrika av alla valutaunioner under den klassiska guldmyntfoten." - so there are different opinions among the historic expertise.

Then add that expert opinion, rather than scrub existing content from the page. The page number has been added (and was even explicitly said to you in the edit summary), so it's beyond me why you keep harping on that. If you want to remove long-standing peer-reviewed content, start a RfC rather than edit-war it out. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:43, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
